UConn star Paige Bueckers is checking in periodically from the NCAA Tournament as told to AP Basketball Writer Doug Feinberg.
UConn's Azzi Fudd, Paige Bueckers, Jana El Alfy, Amari DeBerry and Caroline Ducharme, from left, react after Dorka Juhasz blocked a Creighton shot during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game Wednesday, Feb. 15, 2023, in Storrs, Conn. Growing up I remember watching UConn own it. Sure, I remember Stewie winning four in a row, but my first memory was when Stefanie Dolson helped the Huskies win. She was my favorite UConn player growing up.
I've trusted my faith and know that God does everything for a reason and that's helped me through this. Even though I can't play I've found other ways to help the team. You don't see certain things when you're playing and I've broken things down on the bench giving tips here and there. I'd rather be “Player P” than “Coach P” but now I do what I can to help us win.
The season is long and grueling and some people get tired and I remind them that they are blessed to play basketball and play here at UConn. I can also be a role model in other ways. My injury is unfortunately too common in women's basketball and there are many others who have gone through it. It's a long process and I hope my recovery can help inspire others to keep their faith and continue to work hard to get back healthy.
