MINNEAPOLIS — The game might not have gone according to plan, but for the thousands of fans who cheered Paige Bueckers' every move, it went to script.
Hollywood script.
The result: Stanford will not be able to play for its second straight NCAA women's basketball championship. Connecticut — and former Hopkins High star Bueckers — will play South Carolina Sunday night in Buecker's back yard for its 12th title and its first since 2016.
