BRIDGEPORT (AP) — Researchers at the University of British Columbia have confirmed the existence of a “freshman wall” encountered by University of Connecticut basketball phenom Paige Bueckers. According to an article published in the March 2021 issue of the Journal of Sport Science & Medicine, lead researcher Dr. Samuel K. Lewinsky notes that while Bueckers’ wall had been assumed to exist, it could not be verified. In the article, entitled “A Mixed-Method Analysis of Real-time Limitations in First-Year College Basketball Performance”, Dr. Lewinsky explains that a research team conducted a close analysis of 25 games in which Bueckers participated since early December 2020. Initial study proved inconclusive. However, a supplemental review of high-resolution video footage captured just prior to tip-off of a December 12, 2020 game against the University of Massachusetts Lowell River Hawks showed Bueckers momentarily pausing and looking back at Head Coach Luigi “Geno” Auriemma prior to walking onto the court. Lewinsky’s team interpolated digital data taken from roughly 40,000 video frames. The data was then processed by virtual electron microscopy. Frame 6 produced the following image, thus confirming that the Bueckers’ wall did exist, albeit momentarily:

Dr. Lewinsky’s team is hopeful that their research will prove valuable to other first-year participants in women’s college basketball.

Bueckers could not be reached for comment. However, Croatian teammate Nika Muhl remarked, “What’s a wall?”

My wife just came into my office, she thought I had hurt myself because I was laughing so hard it sounded like I was crying. Well done Connie, wish I could give it a million likes.
 
I wonder if even Paige thought she would get all the attention you get when you come to UConn. I'm sure she did from all the recruiting fuss, but hey, this is the big time. I would like to see a study on climate change and crosscourt wind currents and how it affects the passing game.

Katie Lou had a number of bumps, bruises, injuries and some upchucking during the Maryland game. How do I know? Shea said she saw Katie Lou during the game using a bucket.
