Since joining the University of Connecticut (UConn) Huskies, she leaded her team to consecutive NCAA finals appearances and won numerous accolades, including the ESPY Award for Best Female College Athlete in 2021.
Despite facing a setback due to an anterior cruciate ligament tear in 2022, Bueckers made a triumphant return to the court, guiding the Huskies to the National Championship in 2025.
