With the shot clock about to expire and her team ahead by a single point in overtime, Paige Bueckers threw up a long 3-pointer that hit the back of the rim and bounced high into the air.
There was no doubt in Bueckers’s mind that the ball would come down through the net.
UConn’s freshman star scored 31 points, including her team’s final 13, to lead the No. 2 Huskies to a 63-59 overtime victory Monday night over top-ranked South Carolina.
Bueckers scored all of the Huskies’ 9 points in overtime, including that improbable 3-pointer with just over 10 seconds left.
