Bueckers is gearing up for the final season of her college basketball career in 2024-25. After sitting out on the entire 2022-23 season due to a torn ACL, the 22-year-old has decided to come back to the Huskies this upcoming season for her final year of eligibility.
Bueckers has not yet secured a national championship for UConn after the Huskies were knocked out in the 2024 NCAA Women’s Final Four by the Iowa Hawkeyes. Despite the early conclusion to their season this year, she has collected almost every other award available to a college basketball player.
The 6-foot point guard made a noteworthy start to her college career, becoming the first freshman to receive four major national women’s college Player of the Year awards, such as the Naismith Prep Player of the Year Award.
Bueckers led UConn to the 2021 NCAA Final Four and broke program records for single-game assists and assists by a freshman.
