Paige Bueckers has finally done it.
The Connecticut Huskies dominated their way to a national championship on Sunday. They had no issues with the South Carolina Gamecocks and defeated them by a score of 82-59.
This victory marked UConn’s first title since 2016 and their 12th all-time, making them the program with the most national championships in college basketball history.
The projected No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft set a program and NCAA tournament record in the victory over South Carolina.
Paige Bueckers scored 17 points in her career finale with the Huskies. With that, she became the Huskies’ all-time leading scorer in the tournament with 477 points, putting her ahead of program legend Maya Moore by one point.
After leading the Huskies to the Final Four, the Minnesota native took a moment with the media to share something deeply personal.
Bueckers didn’t shy away with her answer when asked whether she had thought about what it would be like if Gigi Bryant were still here.
“There have been times this whole weekend and throughout the whole tournament I feel like God has really shown himself. My mom staying in room 824 which are both of Kobe’s numbers and stuff like that. Kobe’s watching over us. Gigi’s watching over us. Abby… and everybody. I felt their presence for sure.” Paige Bueckers said to reporters.
As we all know, Kobe Bryant and Gigi Bryant lost their lives on January 26th, 2020, in a helicopter crash along with seven others.

Social media might be down incredibly bad as Lucia from Grand Theft Auto is going insanely viral.
GTA 6’s trailer 2 officially broke a record after the upcoming second look at the game, which has continued to take forever to come out.
GTA 6 broke the record for the longest wait between a first and second trailer for a Rockstar Games title ever.
Rockstar has built a rich world of criminals, lunatics, and thieves spanning from Liberty City to San Andreas and beyond. With GTA 6 on the horizon, fans have become ecstatic after seeing a picture of Lucia.
For those unaware, she is a female criminal in the game. Grand Theft Auto states that she did her time at a prison complex in the State of Leonida in the mid-2020s for an unknown crime.
As anticipation builds for the release of Grand Theft Auto 6, a picture shows Lucia stripped down to a two-piece bikini.
