The Paige Bueckers era is over at UConn, but the team’s 2025-26 returners could run it back after shining in the NCAA championship game.

The University of Connecticut Huskies' women's basketball team finally has its dominant dozen after nearly a decade of waiting. UConn returned to its perch atop the women's game as it silenced South Carolina to the tune of an 82-59 final in Sunday afternoon's NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament finale at Amalie Arena.

Spearheaded by Paige Bueckers, Azzi Fudd and Sarah Strong, the UConn Huskies are set to make their 24th Final Four appearance on Friday.
