UConn women's basketball's redshirt senior star guard Paige Bueckers was named a top-10 candidate for the 2025 Nancy Lieberman Award.

The UConn women’s basketball team extended its Big East win streak to 38 consecutive games with one of its best offensive showings of the season, routing Butler 101-59 on Sunday in front of a sold-out crowd at the XL Center.

Butler (12-12, 2-9) was led by Kilyn McGuff’s 17 points, including her 1,000th career point early in the second half. Riley Makalusky added 10 points for the Bulldogs, who struggled with turnovers, allowing UConn to score 25 points off 15 first-half giveaways.

UConn women's basketball overwhelmed Butler on both sides of the ball Sunday in its final tune-up before resuming nonconference play on Thursday.

The game remained competitive early, with DePaul closing the gap to 23-20 in the second quarter. However, UConn responded with a 17-4 run to seize control by halftime. The Huskies’ outside shooting played a key role, as they shot 54.5% (12-for-22) from beyond the arc, with Chen going 3-for-3 and Fudd 4-for-7.

Bueckers made up for lost time and now joins 11 other UConn greats in the 2,000 point club, Here's how she achieved that after missing nearly 60 games.
