So does that get her on the wall? All of these awards confuse me as to which ones do and don't get a player on the wall.

First player in history to win both National Player of the Year and Slime of the Year. Congratulations, Paige.

By the time she is through they will be building an entirely new wall, just for her.

She got on the wall when named to the AP 1st team. She is now the owner of the greatest Freshman season ever and is looking pretty good to be the 4th person on the Mt. Rushmore of UConn WCBB joining Taurasi, Stewart and Moore.

That is so awesome. Not only well deserved, but she's a humble, emotional kid who loves her teammates and her coaches and just wants to make everyone around her better. I figured she would say none of it was possible without her great teammates. The chemistry on this team is off the charts. I cannot wait to see what they do next!

UConn's Paige Bueckers is AP women's player of the year

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Paige Bueckers is in a class all by herself. UConn's star guard became the first freshman ever to win The Associated Press women's basketball player of the year award Wednesday.

Bueckers was an overwhelming choice, receiving 21 votes from the 30-member national media panel that chooses the weekly AP Top 25. Dana Evans of Louisville was second with four votes.

I've been raving about this kid for the past few years and knew if she came to UConn she would be an All American and National Player of the Year...............but not as a freshman!!!

 

[Sanka541]

Man I just love this team as people, what a great bunch of kids honestly. The love and respect they have for each other speaks volumes!

 

[Plebe]

Wow! Amazing. What a season, what a baller.

I never thought that they’d give it to a freshman. No matter the merits. But clearly Paige is shattering the paradigms and making history.

Congrats!
¡Felicidades!
Felicitations !
!مبروك عليك

Great moment

Someone check on Debbie Antonelli.

An important result is the verification that Paige is ecstatic she chose UCONN. Her close relationship with her teammates & coaches is testimony that she made the right decision. And how Paige & Geno embrace each other is heartwarming!
