Bueckers 'blessed' after making Big East tourney history in UConn win
UNCASVILLE, Conn. -- Paige Bueckers hadn't lost a Big East game in her decorated career as a UConn Husky, and she wasn't about change that in her final contest in the conference.
The UConn superstar lifted the 1-seed Huskies to a 70-50 victory over the 2-seed Creighton Bluejays in the Big East tournament championship game to claim the program's 30th conference tournament title -- the most in Division I history -- and 12th straight.
Bueckers delivered timely baskets whenever Creighton gained momentum, hitting three 3-pointers and converting all 7 of her free throws, on her way to finishing with 24 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals.
In a conference and program home to many of the sport's greats, Bueckers became the first player to win Big East Tournament Most Outstanding Player three times.
