"Rooster" on the Tenn Board:
On Bueker’s 15-19 performance:
“By the end of No. 2 UConn's 95-80 victory over the Razorbacks (who handed the Huskies their sole loss during the 2020-21 regular season), Bueckers had more than given the fans something to cheer for. She scored a career-high 34 points and matched Kerry Bascom's record from 1989 for points in a season opener. Shooting 15-for-19, she became the third UConn player in the past 20 seasons to score 30 or more points on 75% or better shooting in the season debut. Her performance marked the most points by a UConn player without a 3-pointer since Tina Charles in 2010.
Bueckers was seemingly everywhere on the court throughout the game, and when she had the ball, she was nearly flawless. She didn't record a single turnover.
"I just kind of took what the defense was giving me, and my teammates got me open," Bueckers said after the game. "They passed me the ball really well. I kind of read what the game needed and I felt like my shot was going in. I felt good. It was just rhythm.”
Man, she is something good. Have never seen a player like her before.
I agree: the best I've ever seen. Period.
