Paige Bueckers gets first win as a pro in return to Connecticut as she scores 21 points
Paige Bueckers scored a season-best 21 points in her return to Connecticut to earn her first win as a pro in Dallas’ 109-87 victory over the Connecticut Sun on Tuesday night. It’s been a week of homecomings for Bueckers as the former UConn star played in the state of Connecticut for the first time since helping the Huskies win the school’s 12th national championship nearly two months ago. Six days earlier she played in Minnesota where she grew up. With the victory, Bueckers remained unbeaten at Mohegan Sun Arena, where the Sun plays their home games. She went 15-0 at the arena, including winning four Big East championships while playing for UConn.
