Paige Bueckers had some good news for UConn fans at her senior night: It wasn't her last senior night.

The former Wooden Award winner dropped a big surprise Friday by turning what seemed to be a farewell speech into an announcement that she will return for a fifth season in Storrs, to the delight of the Gampel Pavilion crowd.

Head coach Geno Auriemma even cracked a smile.

Bueckers went on to score 21 points with eight assists, three rebounds and three steals in an 85-44 route of Georgetown.
