After UConn's win over Syracuse in the second round of the 2024 women's NCAA tournament, UConn coach Geno Auriemma made headlines by declaring his star Paige Bueckers "the best player in America."
Elsewhere, the discussion has been about whether Iowa guard Caitlin Clark -- who became the all-time leading scorer in NCAA Division I basketball history, men's or women's, earlier this year -- might be the greatest women's college player of all time, let alone this season.
To a degree, Auriemma walked back his comments during last weekend's regional in Portland.
