UConn women's basketball star Paige Bueckers and South Dakota State's Kallie Theisen know each other from high school ball in Minnesota.

With a day of games already in the books, Paige Bueckers and UConn headline Day 2 of the women's NCAA Tournament.

At just 23 years old, Paige Bueckers has already cemented herself as a force in women’s basketball: She’s the fastest player in UConn history to reach 2,000 career points; she was the first freshman to nab the Wooden Award and Naismith Trophy—and, come next month, she’s widely projected to be the No. 1 pick in the 2025 WNBA draft.
