Paige Bueckers was a highly-touted recruit and is now tasked with helping to bring a national championship back to Storrs, Conn. She has played extremely well thus far, but might there be another freshman in Iowa City, Iowa, who could give her a run for her money? And don’t forget about a certain Syracuse Orange center who has been coming up big, or that Washington State Cougar who has been wreaking havoc in the Pac-12.

Unbeaten Michigan faces Minnesota in key Big Ten clash
By DAVID GINSBURGJanuary 14, 2021 GMT
GAME OF THE WEEKEND: No. 7 Michigan at No. 23 Minnesota, Saturday. The unbeaten Wolverines (11-0, 6-0) stand alone atop the conference standings after getting off to an impressive start under second-year coach Juwan Howard. Michigan is coming off an eye-popping 77-54 rout of No. 9 Wisconsin, a suitable encore to an 82-57 blowout of Minnesota at Ann Arbor. Beginning with a lopsided win over then-No. 19 Northwestern on Jan. 3, Michigan is the first team in NCAA history to defeat ranked opponents by at least 19 points in three straight games. But the Golden Gophers (10-4, 3-4) are 10-0 at home, including a signature 102-95 overtime win over No. 5 Iowa and a 77-60 breeze against 21st-ranked Ohio State. Minnesota junior guard Marcus Carr averages 35.6 minutes and 20.9 points, both team highs.
