As Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier begin the first season of Unrivaled, investors Geno Auriemma and Paige Bueckers will be watching proudly back at UConn.

Geno Auriemma corrected Paige Bueckers' claim that she could play for a longer duration, telling reporters that UConn's game plan for her was to play rough 20 or so minutes

UConn women's basketball coach Geno Auriemma talked about Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier creating Unrivaled league that debuts Friday.

The Huskies are atrocious at 3-point defense and rebounding, two things that teams typically need to be at least decent at to go far in the NCAA Tournament. Pick any metric and look at Dawn Staley’s South Carolina Gamecocks from last season – they were among the best in any stat associated with rebounding and defending the deep ball.

"Paige Bueckers has a knee sprain, Geno Auriemma says. Compares it to the injury Azzi Fudd had earlier this year. Hoping to have her back in a week," Alexa Phillippou shared in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Paige Bueckers hasn’t played a game in the WNBA yet, but the future No. 1 pick is already looking ahead and touting her future sisters in the 3x3 Unrivaled league. The UConn Huskies star guard is still in the midst of her senior season before she’s projected to go to the Dallas Wings with the top pick in April’s draft.
