UConn star guard Paige Bueckers has an upcoming opponent bawling her eyes out for a hilarious reason.
The UConn Huskies women's basketball team is expected to make a serious run at a National Championship in the 2024-25 season.Before Bueckers and the Huskies begin their regular season against Boston University on November 7, they have an exhibition game on November 3 against a school called Fort Hays State, which is a Division 2 university that plays in the MIAA conference.
While Fort Hays went 25-8 last season, the UConn Huskies are an entirely different beast than the Emporia State Hornets. Fort Hays guard Talexa Weeter posted a photo of her crying on TikTok with the caption, "when I get on a 100 on my test but the narp next to me gets to participate in halloweekend while i'm getting my ankles obliterated by paige bueckers".For context, a 'narp' is an acronym that stands for 'Non-Athlete Random Person'.
So Weeter is essentially upset because her non-athlete classmates at Fort Hays get to party this weekend while she has to prepare to get cooked by Paige Bueckers on the court Sunday. While Weeter would seem to be joking, those certainly appear to be real tears. And we can't blame her for wanting to toast drinks this weekend instead of getting turned to toast by one of college basketball's best players.Grant Young covers Women’s Basketball, the New York Yankees, and the New York Mets for Sports Illustrated’s ‘On SI’ sites.
