What happened: Paige Bueckers opened 5-for-5 from the field. She finished the first quarter with 18 points.
Why it matters: The perimeter surge expanded an already efficient start into a sustained scoring run.
By the numbers: Five 3-pointers accounted for 15 of Bueckers' 23 points, or 65.2%.
What to watch: Her final scoring and 3-point totals are the next markers once play concludes.
