Paige Bueckers reassures UConn fans about missed class concerns

UConn Huskies superstar Paige Bueckers takes the phrase “out” to a whole new level.

It’s truly remarkable how many sporting and pop culture events Bueckers appears at. In the past few months alone, the 22-year-old has been spotted at a New York Liberty game, the US Open, various New York Fashion Week shows and events, the ESPYs in Los Angeles, the 2024 WNBA All-Star Game. Phoenix, visited former UConn teammate Nika Muhl in Seattle and visited family in Minnesota and along the East Coast.

When she was at the aforementioned Liberty game earlier this month, a photo of her and teammate Azzi Fudd was posted by the WNBA’s Instagram account.

The top comment on the post came from the UConn women’s basketball account, which went viral for writing, “come home, have class tomorrow .”

This prompted a hilarious response from Bueckers, who posted a picture on her Instagram story of her laptop in a “Communication and Identity” class at UConn a day later with the caption, “Yes, yes, yes … did it @uconnwbb”.

Clearly, Bueckers (who is an excellent student) heard the rumblings that she might skip her class to attend these events.

The buzz started again on Sunday when Bueckers was spotted in Los Angeles to watch the Chargers take on the Kansas City Chiefs.

Bueckers made sure to address any fan concerns by reposting a photo of herself at the game and writing, “Yes I’m at a sporting event in LA and yes I’ll be at the tmr AM class in Connecticut.”

Huskies fans can rest easy knowing that their best player is not slacking on her studies to set what appears to be a record for most public appearances at sporting events.
