The UConn Huskies got their season off to a strong start on Sunday behind an excellent performance from senior guard Paige Bueckers.
The UConn Huskies unofficially began their new season on Sunday with an exhibition victory over Fort Hays State.
As Stamford Advocate’s Maggie Vanoni pointed out, the exhibition was a good opportunity for UConn’s legendary head coach“The No. 2 Huskies debuted their 2024-25 squad Sunday afternoon in an exhibition against Fort Hays State,” Vanoni said. “Despite a slow first quarter, the 89-49 win allowed "I think the reason you play exhibition games is to kind of get out in public for the first time so you expect your veteran players to play like veterans, and you expect your young players to be a little bit nervous in the beginning," Auriemma said, per Vanoni. "So, all of our veterans played great. I thought Paige was fantastic."
