UConn looked great without Paige Bueckers’ best and that’s a scary sight for the rest of college basketball

UConn going up against Iowa will easily go down as one of the most highly anticipated games of the college basketball season from both the men’s and women’s NCAA tournaments.

There aren’t bigger stars out there than UConn’s Paige Bueckers and Iowa’s Caitlin Clark. These are the two best college basketball players in the country. Both freshman. Going at it.

This was supposed to be a matchup for the ages. And, while it did live up to the hype, it didn’t exactly happen the way we expected it to.

The Huskies dominated the Hawkeyes in their 92-72 win to get to the Elite 8. The wildest part is they didn’t really need Paige Bueckers to go off to do it.
