Paige Bueckers praised God for building her character through “trials and tribulations.”Bueckers, also known as Paige Buckets, is one of the game’s best playmakers. The 22-year-old Minnesota native is also an outspoken Christian who posts Bible verses on social media. As a freshman at University of Connecticut, Bueckers said her goal was to shine for Jesus and “make him famous.”On April 1, the women’s team beat USC to earn a spot in the Final Four. After scoring 28 points against the Trojans Monday, Paige Bueckers told an ESPN reporter she was grateful and gave “all glory to God.”“I’m a living testimony,” said Bueckers. “God works in mysterious ways. Last year I was praying to be back at this stage. And he sent me trials and tribulations. But it was to build my character; it was to test my faith.” She added that she “just kept on believing” and “did all I could so God can do all I can’t.”When the reporter noted that legendary UConn coach Geno Auriemma had said it would take “a miracle” for his team to advance this far, Bueckers again spoke about faith. “You can overcome anything with God on your side, with hard work on your side,” she said. “With the belief and the faith…the perseverance, the resilience. It’s all about how you overcome adversity in life.”Also Read: Pope Writes to Catholics In Holy Land
