The UConn Huskies started off their title defense with a commanding win over the Louisville side. Apart from their flawless game, one person who stole the spotlight was the Wings’ guard Paige Bueckers.
Former UConn star was in the stands and even came down close to the court to support her team. Bueckers describes a “surreal feeling” after attending a UConn Huskies game. While fans loved the reunion, the admin teased the star with a social media post.
Paige Bueckers’ Savage Reply To UConn Huskies’ ‘X’ Post
Throughout her career, the Wings’ guard has never let her opponent get over her. She hit back and won both on and off the court. So when the UConn Huskies’ social media admin tried to take a funny jab at its former player, the All-American didn’t let that go.
The UConn official account’s post reads, “like how did you get our warmup top, you don’t even go here.” But Paige, being Paige, gave it back to the jab and wrote, “Run it back, year 6!”

While the former Naismith Player of the Year winner was in Huskies’ warmups, it’s important to note that she attended the game from the UConn family box at the venue. As for her reply, PB was at UConn for five years, including her red flag season due to injury. During her four seasons with the side, she won an NCAA championship and averaged nearly 20 points, five rebounds and five assists. So the sixth season would have been a very interesting one.
