Paige Bueckers is one of the NCAA’s favorite basketball players, and not to put pressure on her, but big things are expected of her in the sports world. Many believe that if she has a strong season and stays injury-free, she could be the first pick in the WNBA draft.

Bueckers is known for her outgoing personality and for bringing good vibes to UConn Huskies games, of course, without losing focus on the game. However, a video showed a strange moment with the player that left many wondering what was going on with her.

It only took a few seconds for people to realize that Paige was doing one of her signature TikTok dances, but suddenly it looked as if she was having a kind of tic. As she finished her clipped dance, she did a sort of ‘yeet’ move, and that’s when those around her realized she was dancing.

The video quickly went viral, with even fans thinking Bueckers was ‘tripping’-the blue glasses she wore only made her look even funnier as she did the strange moves.

Expectations are sky-high for Bueckers

This season is a pivotal one for Bueckers, a standout talent whose career has been marred by injuries. She underwent ankle surgery during her freshman year, required knee surgery in her sophomore season, and then tore her ACL in 2022, which sidelined her for the entire 2022-23 season. Now 23, with four college seasons under her belt, Bueckers is aiming to secure her first national title before making the leap to the WNBA.

As she enters her final year as an NCAA athlete, Bueckers is not only focused on overcoming the physical challenges of her past but also on cementing her legacy as one of the best to ever play the game at the collegiate level. Her skill set is undeniable-she possesses an exceptional court vision, elite playmaking ability, and a deadly shooting touch that makes her a constant offensive threat. If Bueckers can remain healthy throughout the season, she has the potential to lead the UConn Huskies to their first national title since 2016.

The pressure will be on her to not only perform at a high level but also to elevate her teammates and bring that championship mentality back to Storrs. With her undeniable talent and the weight of expectations, Bueckers’ final college season could be the one that propels her into the WNBA spotlight as one of the most highly anticipated prospects in recent years.
