It was a Minnesota homecoming for Paige Bueckers at the Wings-Lynx game. Too bad current UConn star Fudd stole the spotlight from her Huskies bff.

Ogunbowale, the 2020 league scoring champion, finished 2-of-14 from the floor and 1-of-8 from three. She scored the bulk of her eight points at the line, three nights after free throws accounted for half of her 16 points in Dallas’ home-opening loss to the Minnesota Lynx.

On her way out the door to the WNBA, Bueckers hailed forward Sarah Strong as the next great Huskies star – and on Wednesday, Strong received the news that she will be representing Team USA at the FIBA 3x3 Women's Series, which tips off in Marseille, France on Friday.

Just over a year ago, Caitlin Clark was preparing to embark on her rookie season in the WNBA with the Indiana Fever, less than one month after being selected with the No. 1 pick in the draft.

Folks already know about Caitlin Clark's popularity, but the WNBA might have discovered its newest television ratings bump in 2025 top overall draft pick Paige Bueckers.
