UConn women’s basketball will take on the Minnesota Gophers on Nov. 19, 2023 next season for Paige Bueckers’ homecoming game, the team announced on Tuesday. Bueckers hails from Hopkins, Minnesota, roughly 15 minutes outside Minneapolis.
The Huskies are 3-0 all-time against Minnesota. They met last season in the Battle 4 Atlantis, where UConn won comfortably, 88-58. The Huskies also beat the Gophers in the 2004 Final Four, 67-58.
This won’t be Bueckers’ first collegiate game back in her home state. She also played there during the 2022 Final Four at the Target Center in Minneapolis.
