Bueckers, Collier to Reunite as UConn Alums on FIBA World Cup Team

UConn Huskies alumnae Paige Bueckers and Napheesa Collier are set to join forces on the court for the upcoming FIBA World Cup. While both players enjoyed successful careers at the University of Connecticut, their time as teammates under coach Geno Auriemma did not overlap.

This marks a significant opportunity for the two standout players to represent their country together on an international stage. Their shared collegiate background, though not concurrent, is expected to foster a strong on-court chemistry as they compete in the prestigious tournament.
