Paige Bueckers Is The USBWA Freshman Player Of

Stats are nice, all right:
Bueckers, a 5-!1 rookie guard out of Hopkins, Minn., considered the nation's top incoming blue chipper who already leads unbeaten UConn in points, assists, steals, and three-point field goal percentage, averaged 11.0 points, 7.5 assists, 6.5 rebounds, and 3.5 steals in a home win over Butler and road win at then-No. 25 Tennessee. Against the Lady Vols, she returned late in the game from rolling her ankle earlier in the fourth quarter and with 25 seconds left in regulation, the shot clock about to expire, and a slim two-point lead, she nailed a long three-pointer to secure the win. She has already won five Big East weekly top freshman honors.
