Her performance mirrored her previous games against Marquette in terms of scoring efficiency. Bueckers' ability to avoid turnovers stood out, showcasing her skill and composure under pressure.
Saw (most of) both Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers today. The stat I would like to see was the number of times they dribbled into trouble, got dubbed and tripled, and somehow scrambled around and kept possession. Most great players have that I-can-get-out-of-anything mentality.
Zero turnovers might be the most impressive part of this, especially because I can think of at least three times off the top of my head when Bueckers saved a steal from the ground by flipping a pass out to the perimeter. https://t.co/3FUcBZeA3q
