Paige Bueckers, the celebrated UConn guard, has announced her decision to return to the University of Connecticut for the 2024-25 season, thus forgoing the 2024 WNBA Draft. The announcement was made during Senior Night, with Bueckers stating, "This will not be my last senior night here." Head coach Geno Auriemma, humorously questioned about his own return next season following Bueckers' announcement, shared a light-hearted moment by stating, "I was until Paige's announcement." Auriemma also reflected on Bueckers' decision-making process, revealing that her indecisiveness was evident even during her recruitment, necessitating a playful threat to ensure her commitment to UConn, commenting, "Paige is very, very bad at making decisions."

Geno Auriemma, asked (jokingly) if Bueckers' return means he'll definitely be back next season as well. "I was until Paige's announcement."
Geno Auriemma says Paige Bueckers never confirmed her return with him, but hearing her previously talk about her love for UConn, he wasn't shocked. "Paige is very, very bad at making decisions. When we were recruiting her I had to threaten her because she couldn't decide."
