"You ate": UConn star Paige Bueckers hypes up teammate Kamorea Arnold's "PT.2" of media day snaps
UConn star Paige Bueckers does not miss a chance to show support for her Huskies teammates. As her teammate Kamorea Arnold shared the second round of her media day photos, Buckers hyped her up in the comments.
"PT.2," KK Arnold posted with a series of glam shots.
In the first photo, the 5-foot-9 guard posed holding a basketball rim while wearing a UConn home uniform. The second slide showed Arnold seated in a chair in her Huskies jersey, holding a basketball and looking serious. The next image captured the rising sophomore smiling as she looked up at a basketball she tossed into the air.
"You ate," Bueckers commented under the post, followed by a squinting face with tongue emoji.
Paige Bueckers is well known for her supportive nature towards her teammates, constantly showering them with praise on social media.
Last week, the two-time Big East player hyped up teammate Azzi Fudd's photos from their appearance in the Tombogo Spring/Summer event at New York Fashion Week. Similarly, Bueckers commented on Caroline Ducharme's media day photos on Instagram this past Tuesday.
The senior guard also did not shy away from showing her love to Kamorea Arnold's first round of media day photos earlier this month.
"run it back 2️⃣," Arnold wrote as the caption.
"Go camera go," Paige Bueckers replied with a smiling face emoji.
In her first season with the Huskies last year, K.K. Arnold averaged 8.9 points, 3.2 assists and 2.3 steals per game. She also led the team in steals with a total of 90.
