UConn's star guard Paige Bueckers suffered a knee injury during the game against Villanova, raising concerns among fans and teammates. The incident occurred late in the third quarter as Bueckers went for a loose ball, resulting in an awkward collision with Villanova's Jasmine Bascoe.
Despite the initial worry, early reports suggest that the severity of the injury may not be as serious as feared. Bueckers, who had contributed 15 points and nine assists before the injury, was seen with ice on her knee after leaving the game. This is the same knee in which she had previously torn her ACL in 2022.
