With Fever-Wings matchup looming, what's the history between Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers?

No, the two sharing a basketball court doesn’t start with a game between Iowa and UConn. It actually tracks all the way back to their time with Team USA.

Bueckers and Clark were teammates once upon a time for the 2019 FIBA Under-19 Women’s Basketball World Cup in Bangkok, Thailand. The team also included the likes of former TCU star and current Chicago Sky guard Hailey Van Lith, the Fever’s Aliyah Boston, Los Angeles Sparks’ Cameron Brink and the Atlanta Dream’s Rhyne Howard.

Bueckers was the leading scorer with 19 points in Team USA’s win over Australia in the final. Bueckers would go on to win the tournament MVP.

Both were just 17 years old at the time and highly touted recruits in their respective states of Minnesota and Iowa.
