UConn legend Maya Moore breaks the silence on the Huskies’ championship

For the first time in nine years, Geno Auriemma and the UConn Huskies are national champions again. That was an epic farewell for program legend Paige Bueckers.

Multiple former Huskies stars were in attendance to watch the game, including WNBA legend Maya Moore, who was recently announced as a member of the Hall of Fame class of 2025.

Following the Huskie’s 16th consecutive win and 27th in 28 games, the Minnesota Lynx legend gushed about the team and how hard they worked to achieve this milestone.

“It was awesome to see,” Moore said. “Just knowing how hard they’ve worked and the adversity they’ve overcome, watching them play the way they did at this time of the year I just feel so good for them. Paige was present in the moment as was Azzi, Sarah (Strong), all of them really. It was a team effort with everyone playing their role together. It was seamless and I was so happy for them. That’s all you want.”

Paige Bueckers just broke Moore’s record to become the program’s all-time leader in points per game (19.83). However, records are meant to be broken, and Moore has always been supportive of the new generation.

Now, with Bueckers set to turn pro, Azzi Fudd will be the face of the program next season, and it will be interesting to see how far she can take this team after her epic performance in the championship game.
