After making history in her last game, what can Paige Bueckers do for an encore?

Bueckers, UConn’s star guard, scored 26 points to steer the Huskies to an impressive win over North Carolina on Sunday. In the process, she became a 1,000-point scorer, reaching the threshold in just 55 career games. She tied Maya Moore as the quickest Husky to achieve that feat.

Bueckers and the 15th-ranked Huskies have been battle-tested early this season. Saturday’s matchup with No. 18 Louisville will mark their fifth time facing a top-25 opponent in their first 10 games.

The Cardinals, meanwhile, have ripped off a 10-1 start to begin the year, with their lone loss coming against Alabama. Though star guard Hailey Van Lith transferred to LSU in the offseason, Louisville still boasts a trio of double-digit scorers, including senior forward Olivia Cochran.

This is the first game in a four-year series that the two programs agreed upon in April. UConn is 18-3 all-time against Louisville, but the Cardinals have won two of the last three matchups.
