The UConn women’s basketball team is making the trip to the Sweet 16 and UConn is held a send-off on Wednesday afternoon.
Julia Murckl, a UConn sophomore, was there and said she wanted a photo of Paige Bueckers and all of the team members. She was also hoping to get signatures from the players.
This is the 31st straight Sweet 16 for the team and UConn is in a quest for its 12th national title during what is expected to be Bueckers last season before entering the WNBA draft.
The UConn women were the runners-up in 2022 and last won the title in 2016.
