Bueckers dominates teammate Arike Ogunbowale 12-4 in a highly anticipated Unrivaled 1-on-1 Tournament matchup, pushing her toward the $200,000 prize.<\/p>\n
DALLAS \u2014 Paige Bueckers stole the show at the Unrivaled 1-on-1 Tournament, pulling off a headline-worthy upset against her Dallas Wings<\/a> teammate, Arike Ogunbowale.<\/p>\n Bueckers cruised to a 12\u20135 win over the four-time WNBA All-Star, punching her ticket to the quarterfinals of the Unrivaled competition. With two Wings stars going head-to-head, the matchup was easily one of the most buzzed-about games of the second round<\/a>, and Bueckers made sure it lived up to the hype.<\/p>\n Bueckers, the No. 1 seed entering the tournament, has been one of the standout performers in Unrivaled\u2019s 1-on-1 bracket after cruising through her first-round matchup against Kate Martin with a 12\u20135 victory. Her crisp footwork, quick reads off the dribble and ability to adapt under pressure have translated effortlessly to the one-on-one stage.<\/p>\n Ogunbowale, seeded fourth, came in with considerable experience and a reputation as one of the toughest isolation scorers in the WNBA.<\/p>\n But on Friday night, she struggled to find rhythm against Bueckers\u2019 tight defense and finished with just five points, which is a low total for the sharpshooter who has routinely been a leading scorer throughout her WNBA career.\u00a0<\/p>\n whewwwwwwww pic.twitter.com\/zFPCzg5EI3<\/a><\/p>\n
