After Paige Bueckers put up a 30-point double-double to lift UConn to the Sweet 16, Geno Auriemma said she was the best player in the country, pointing to her clutch play.
While many might view Caitlin Clark as the top player in women's college basketball, Geno Auriemma disagrees with that notion. UConn's head coach claimed that his star player, Paige Bueckers, is the best player in the country following her dominant performance in the Huskies' 72-64 win over Syracuse to advance to the Sweet 16. 'We have the best player in America,' Auriemma told reporters following Monday's game, referring to Bueckers.
You need people that can make those plays, the shots that they have to make, the rebounds that they have to get, the loose balls they got to get, the stops they have to have.' Auriemma didn't mention which analytics Bueckers has the edge over some of the other top players in the nation. Clark is the nation's leading scorer and also averages a Division 1-best 8.
