Paige Bueckers returns to Connecticut hoping to get her first win as a pro
UNCASVILLE, Conn. — It’s been a week of homecomings for Paige Bueckers as the former UConn star will play in the state of Connecticut for the first time since helping the Huskies win the school’s 12th national championship nearly two months ago.
Last week was a chance to play in her home state of Minnesota. Now she’ll be trying to get the Dallas Wings their first victory of the season as they face the winless Sun on Tuesday night.
“It will be weird not stepping on this court with a UConn uniform,” Bueckers told reporters Monday. “It will be something I enjoy with a new team and new organization. It’s great to be back, great to continue on this journey.”
Bueckers has never lost 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. She looked right at home during shootaround Tuesday morning, hitting the halfcourt shot at the end of practice. Something she’s done nearly every time in her rookie season so far.
