Paige Bueckers clearly had her socks knocked off when she saw Sarah Strong’s career-high performance against Ohio State. Strong posted 29 points for UConn against the Buckeyes, along with 13 boards.
Bueckers took to X to share her reaction to Strong’s incredible performance, basically admitting that she was indeed speechless. The win makes the fourth consecutive one for UConn in this college basketball season.
“Sarah Strong… no words” Paige Bueckers tweeted.
Not just Sarah Strong, but Paige Bueckers’ own girlfriend, Azzi Fudd, also played incredibly in the game, with 19 points of her own. Fudd was supposed to enter the WNBA along with Bueckers, but pulled away from the draft at the last minute. Fans will hope to see the two play together in the next campaign.
Paige Bueckers’ girlfriend also delighted fans at the game, especially when she managed to sign a fan’s poster which read ‘Paige Bueckers’ Girlfriend Sign Here’. Fudd was more than happy to sign the poster and even went on to sign another poster which read ‘UConn player sign here’.
The two players seem to be pretty steady in their relationship which went public earlier this year. Since then, Bueckers and Fudd have been proudly showcasing their love for each other, even if they don’t play at the same level right now.
Paige Bueckers Reveals She Got Into Makeup Only In College
Paige Bueckers recently had a bare-it-all interview with Forbes, where the talented player spoke much about her beauty and makeup experiences. Bueckers revealed that she only got into makeup when she was in college but since then has managed to develop her own unique sense of style, which flawlessly blends both masculine and feminine elements.
“I didn’t really get into anything beauty-related until college. Like you said, I missed a lot of dances and hanging out. Madison Reed was actually my first beauty deal with hair, makeup. Then I got into a little bit of fashion. I went to New York Fashion Week and had that experience. College has been my time to catch up on that whole other aspect of life outside of basketball. It’s been fun to express myself in a different way and show who I am off the court.” Paige Bueckers said.
Paige Bueckers also went on to confess that she does not like to have a long routine with many products and likes to keep it simple, especially for game days. Bueckers was further asked about her change of hairstyles after her college years, to which the baller revealed that she had to switch to a bun from braids since they were hurting her hairline.
