“Well, it’s amazing to have three players, three people like that on the same team,” UConn coach Geno Auriemma stated. “And Sarah, you would think Sarah was graduating the way she plays, right? All three of them complement each other so well. They all have such unique skill sets.”

Bueckers capped her stellar profession with the Huskies’ first championship since 2016, ending a nine-year title drought for the group. That was longest for Auriemma and his Huskies because the group received its first championship in 1995 led by Rebecca Lobo.

“You just never know if you’ll ever be back in this situation again,” Auriemma stated. “And there were so many times when I think we all questioned, ‘Have we been here too long? Has it been time?’ And we kept hanging in there and hanging in there and that’s because these players make me want to hang in there every day.”

Lastly wholesome, the anticipated No. 1 choose within the WNBA draft on April 14, Bueckers delivered for the Huskies all through their championship season.

It was the one factor lacking from an unimaginable UConn profession that was slowed by accidents. She was the primary freshman to win AP Participant of the Yr earlier than lacking plenty of her sophomore season with a tibial plateau fracture and meniscus tear. She then tore an ACL earlier than the subsequent season.

UConn closed the primary half up 10 factors after which put the sport away within the third quarter behind Fudd, Sturdy and Bueckers. The trio mixed for 23 of the group’s 26 factors within the quarter. UConn was up 50-39 with 3:21 left within the interval earlier than closing with a 12-3 run.

Auriemma subbed Bueckers, Fudd and Sturdy out with 1:32 left within the sport. Bueckers and Auriemma had a protracted hug on the sideline, having lastly gotten that championship that he so wished for her.

“They’ve all been gratifying, don’t get me wrong. But this one here, because of the way it came about and what’s been involved, it’s been a long time since I’ve been that emotional when a player has walked off the court,” Auriemma stated.

Daybreak Staley’s group was attempting for a 3rd title in 4 years and fourth general. It could have tied her with Kim Mulkey for third most behind Auriemma and former Tennessee Corridor of Fame coach Pat Summitt, who had eight.

UConn had reached the title sport solely as soon as throughout its drought since 2016. The Huskies had been eradicated by heartbreaking last-second losses within the Ultimate 4 on buzzer-beaters. The Huskies’ final title sport look got here in 2022 when Staley’s group beat UConn to start out the Gamecocks’ present run of success, a sport that ended Auriemma’s good document in title video games.

There appeared to be no nerves early for both group as the sport obtained off to a quick begin. The groups traded baskets for the primary jiffy earlier than the defenses began to clamp down. The Huskies led 19-14 after one quarter after which prolonged the benefit to 36-26 on the half. Fudd had 13 factors and Sturdy added eight factors and 11 rebounds.
