It's now or never for UConn star guard Paige Bueckers.

The No. 2-seed Huskies have reached the Final Four in the women's NCAA tournament where they will face No. 1 UCLA with a ticket to the national championship game on the line. This is fairly familiar territory for Geno Auriemma and the UConn women's basketball program, who have amassed a record 24 Final Four berths, and marks Bueckers's fourth Final Four in as many years. (Bueckers missed the 2023 to injury and UConn was eliminated in the Sweet 16 that season.)
