The anticipation was thick in the air as fans flocked to witness a unique preseason event: NCAA stars Flau’jae Johnson and Paige Bueckers taking on new roles as coaches, leading teams of top high school talent in a heated showdown. This wasn’t just any game; this was a spectacle staged by Overtime Select, where the competitive spirit between two of college basketball’s brightest stars ignited the court.

As soon as the game began, it was clear that Johnson and Bueckers weren’t holding back-not even from the sidelines. Johnson’s passion and trash talk set the tone for the evening. Her team seized an early lead, much to her delight, as she took jabs at Bueckers with playful commentary and witty barbs, which didn’t go unnoticed by fans or the cameras.

With Johnson’s squad ahead by seven points during a timeout, she took the chance to remind Bueckers who was in control. “Ooh! At this point, she’s actually looking nervous,”Johnson joked, throwing a sly look across the court as her team pulled further ahead. Whether it was a spur-of-the-moment jab or a strategic move to keep her rival on edge, Johnson’s words added fuel to an already fiery rivalry.

Throughout the game, Johnson kept her team’s energy high, often breaking into dance after a successful play or dropping a quick freestyle rap to hype up her players. Her lively antics kept her team fired up, from Mia and Mya Pauldo’s impressive plays to Stanford commit Hailee Swain and rising star Jerzy Robinson’s fierce on-court battles. With every shot made, Johnson’s spirit only seemed to grow bolder.

But Bueckers wasn’t one to shy away from a challenge. Known for her calm and collected demeanor, the UConn star watched Johnson’s theatrics with an amused smirk, waiting for the right moment to respond. And she got her chance, as her team launched a comeback in the closing minutes, closing the gap and leaving fans on the edge of their seats.

Bueckers turns the tables on Johnson in nail-biting finish, but the rivalry is far from over

In a dramatic finish, Bueckers’ team edged out Johnson’s with a final score of 105-102, seizing a narrow victory that had the crowd roaring. Bueckers couldn’t resist a small smile as she glanced over at Johnson, knowing she’d just turned the tables in this friendly yet fierce rivalry. The victory added another chapter to their off-court banter, a rivalry that has delighted fans all season.

Their rivalry isn’t limited to the court. In a recent episode of Johnson’s podcast, Best of Both Worlds, the two sparred over topics ranging from shooting prowess to who had the better “rizz.” It was all in good fun, but fans could sense the mutual respect that underlies their playful jabs.
