Power conference teams are padding (or hurting) their resumes with championship games on Sunday. The ACC, SEC, Big Ten and Big 12 will crown a winner with Selection Sunday looming a week away. Midmajor conferences are also celebrating teams earning automatic qualifying bids for the NCAA Tournament.
Follow allow as our experts break down Sunday’s action:
Wings coach watches Paige ‘Buckets’
Paige Bueckers got it going early for the Huskies in an 82-54 Big East semifinal win over Villanova. Better yet for the presumptive No. 1 pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft: Wings head coach Chris Koclanes and GM Curt Miller, who have the top pick, had courtside seats to the senior’s big game as she exploded for 21 first-half points.
Though there’s little doubt regarding whose name will be called first on draft day, Koclanes and Miller most certainly enjoyed the show in Uncasville, Conn.
As good as the performance was for Bueckers — she finished with 23 points, six assists and a block — it was better news for UConn. Bueckers does UConn a huge service when she comes out aggressive in games. It not only allows her to find a flow early, but it opens up lanes and opportunities for her teammates.
