Geno Auriemma made a statement.
We're all very sad for the girl. She's worked hard to get stronger and healthier, and this is a big blow. It's really unfortunate that this has happened to her because she's a better person and teammate than she is. We'll miss her on the court, but she's going to do everything she can to help her teammates. Through her healing process, our program will support her.
In an interview with Bleacher Report, Bueckers said she was aiming for a national championship in 2022-23.
When asked what would make a successful season, Bueckers said the national championship. I think you will get the same answer from me. The only thing left to do is win the national championship and get to the Final Four. That's the aim.
Bueckers burst onto the college basketball scene as a freshman out of high school. In 29 games, she averaged 20.0 points, 4.9 rebound, 5.7 assists and 2.3 steals, while shooting 52.4 percent from the floor and 46.4 percent from deep.
