Paige Bueckers showed out in the final home game of her collegiate career at Gampel Pavilion on Monday in the UConn Huskies' 91-57 win over South Dakota State in the second round of the NCAA tournament. While it was an emotional night, Bueckers put on a show for Huskies fans in attendance, tying her career-high with 34 points in the rout.
Not only that, but Bueckers footed the bill for at least some of the Huskies fans in attendance. Student tickets to games, including to those in the NCAA tournament, are generally free, but they were not this year. Bueckers remedied that situation. The senior guard reportedly partnered with Dunkin' Donuts and Round21 to fund about 1,500 tickets for UConn students to attend Monday's game.
