From Minnesota to the BIG EAST: Bueckers, Karlen have experienced it all

When Marquette hosts No. 3 University of Connecticut Friday night at the Al McGuire Center, all eyes will be on the Golden Eagles to see if they can find a way to upset one of the best programs in the country. But for two players, the game on Friday will have a little bit more...

Though the two are now over 1,000 miles from each other, Karlen said her and Bueckers speak about once a month.

“It’s nice to just check in on her to see how she is doing,” Karlen said. “Obviously playing for Geno is a whole different story, (but) it’s just nice to kind of hear her experience on that.”

At times when the Golden Eagles do not have a game, Karlen said she enjoys watching Bueckers play.

“I love watching Paige play. Obviously, Paige isn’t an easy player to stop but I think something that makes her so deadly is the fact that she can drop five points (or) 30 points on any given night but her passing ability is just off the charts,” Karlen said. “That’s a big part of her element which is going to be hard but hopefully we can pull it off.”

I haven't commented yet on any of the Bueckers posts, but....WOW!

You guys have been so blessed over the last many years by having the opportunity to watch a number of "generational" (Ha Ha!) players. I became a WBB fan in 2007 and watched Maya Moore lead UConn to victory over my Cardinals in 2009. Then Breanna Stewart handled us easily in 2013 - I was there at mid-court. I never saw Taurasi or Bird in college but they must have been awesome. And others.....

And now Bueckers. I'm glad we have Hailey Van Lith - she's a very good player - but she plays like a freshman at times She did that on Monday night. Bueckers plays like a WNBA player. Every single night. Every single play.
