All-American Paige Bueckers scored a season-high 32 points as 3-seed UConn held on to beat 6-seed Syracuse, 72-64.
Paige Bueckers tied her season high with 32 points, freshman Ashlynn Shade added 19, and No. 3 seed UConn held off Syracuse 72-64 on Monday night to earn a 30th straight trip to the Sweet 16. It was Bueckers' fifth straight game with at least 25 points, and seventh in her last eight games. Dyaisha Fair scored 18 of her 20 points in the second half as Syracuse came back from a 12-point first-half deficit to pull within two with just under two minutes left.
After Shade extended the lead back to 10 with a jumper, Fair and Burrows hit back-to-back 3-pointers and an elbow jumper from Alyssa Latham made it 65-63 with 1:53 left. But freshman KK Arnold made a clutch 3-pointer from the left wing with 28 seconds left which pushed the lead back to six and Syracuse missed four contested 3-pointers down the stretch.
