The Big East Player of the year came through, scoring 27 points and grabbing 12 rebounds to lead the No. 9 Huskies to a 58-29 win over Marquette in the Big East Tournament semifinals. Bueckers ended the third quarter with a long buzzer-beating 3-pointer. She dribbled across halfcourt, then behind her back, before making a move to her right and launching a contested deep 3-pointer from the wing.
' Liza Karlen had 12 points and nine rebounds to lead Marquette , which made just 12 baskets on 54 shots and scored its last points with 4:49 left in the third quarter. UConn never trailed in the game. Bueckers took Edwards' place for the opening tip, won it, flexed toward the bench and then hit a layup. The Huskies opened the game on a 9-0 run, holding Marquette without a point for the first six minutes of the game. The Golden Eagles missed their first 11 shots.
