According to an article published in the March 2021 issue of the [I]Journal of Sport Science & Medicine[/I], 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: [ATTACH type="full"]65507[/ATTACH] 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?” [/QUOTE]
