Paige Bueckers Had Hilarious Response After Asked About Her Texas-Themed Pregame Fit

The Dallas Wings won the first game against the Indiana Fever, providing the side a confident start to the season. While that was the real test for the ‘revived’ Wings side, they performed well as a team. New addition Alanna Smith also fit in well, but had one issue with Dallas: not getting to see many cowboy hats and boots. Well, Paige Bueckers stepped up to her teammate’s request.

Ahead of the first home game in the 2026 season, the UConn star blended in complete Texas-themed attire, and when reporters asked her about the same, she had a hilarious response.

After shining in the first game, Bueckers was all charged up for the first home game of the season. She clicked some photos in full cowboy attire, including shoes, pants, and the iconic hat.

When a reporter asked her about the idea behind going all-Texas, the player laughed and said, “Don’t get any crazy ideas. I am not going in stuff like that. First home game, home opener. I haven’t got real Texas yet so that was kind of closest thing.”

It’s important to note that the Wings used the same theme for her introduction press conference. The player shone in her rookie season and will look to make an even bigger impact on the team this season. PB already did many Texas things with her regular appearances at different Texas franchises’ games.

While the interview is just one example of her easy-going nature, she recently played a game with Aliyah Edwards, describing her WNBA stars in one word.

The 2025 rookie is famous for her fun-loving nature and witty answers. Sue Bird also sees it as a quality that brings everyone together. She has a great relationship with nearly everyone in the league, and in a recent fun game, she described every player in one word.

The 23-year-old, alongside her ex-UConn teammate Aaliyah Edwards, appeared on the latest edition of Hot Ones Versus and called Diana Taurasi ‘Goated’, Caitlin Clark ‘Buckets’, and Angel Reese ‘Transformational’. And so on.

In the 2026 season, the player will look to build a strong connection with her teammates and clinch the title.
