Paige Bueckers wakes up before dawn to make UConn teammate Jana El Alfy breakfast during Ramadan

The UConn Huskies women’s basketball team members are there for each other, on and off the court.

With March Madness in full swing, the University of Connecticut team is doing what they can to support all its members, including Jana El Alfy as she observes Ramadan during the NCAA tournament.

In an interview with CT Insider, UConn’s Paige Bueckers shared that she makes El Alfy breakfast during March Madness before her daily fast.

This is the first time the Egyptian-born athlete has balanced the Muslim holy month and NCAA basketball tournament. To help, Buekers gets up before dawn to make El Alfy, who is also her roommate, a meal.
