UConn basketball phenom Paige Bueckers has had a spring season for the record books. Just a week after finishing her college career with an NCAA championship title in April, she became the WNBA’s No. 1 draft pick, finding a home with the Dallas Wings. The Wings will play their first preseason game tonight (Friday, May 2) and Bueckers’ debut on the court will be one of four nationally televised preseason games this weekend. The Wings will play the Las Vegas Aces tonight in a game hosted at Purcell Pavilion at Notre Dame University. Tip-off is at 7 p.m. ET.
