Paige Bueckers has already won numerous awards and accolades during her historic collegiate career with the UConn Huskies.
Her most recent feat was becoming the first player in BIG EAST history to win three conference tournament Most Outstanding Player honors.
However, Bueckers could still get one more award before her time with the program is over.
On Thursday, the Atlanta Tipoff Club announced that Bueckers was named one of the 10 finalists to win the 2025 Jersey Mike’s Naismith Trophy Women’s Player of the Year Award.
The is an award that highlights an athlete’s performance on the court, but also“individuals who display character, integrity and dignity, and have contributed mightily to the growth, success and viability of college basketball.”
Bueckers is a more than deserving candidate to win this award, given that she’s averaging 19.0 points and 4.9 assists a game while shooting 53 percent from the floor and 40 percent from behind the arc and has been a positive face of college sports since her career began.
