Bueckers’ college career was filled with highs and lows, but she couldn’t have ended her time at UConn in better fashion. In 2022, she suffered a torn ACL that forced her to miss the entire 2023 season.

After returning in 2024 and falling short in the NCAA Tournament, she made the decision to come back for one final run—and it paid off, as she captured a national title alongside Geno Auriemma and her teammates.
