    UConn is a consistent threat during March Madness regardless of seeding or who is leading the squad.

    For the past couple seasons, Paige Bueckers has been that player. The only caveat has been her injury history — multiple knee injuries sidelined her for nearly two full seasons.

    She's healthy now, and the Huskies reached the Final Four for the 23rd time in program history. They're two wins away from a 12th national championship, which would cement Bueckers has one of UConn's greatest student-athletes.

    Bueckers is averaging 28 points, 9.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 3.3 steals and 1.5 blocks per game on 51.1 percent field-goal shooting and 36.4 percent 3-point shooting in four NCAA Tournament games this year.

    Despite the UConn star lighting it up March, she doesn't come from an overly athletic family. Here's the breakdown of Bueckers' family tree, including her parents and half-siblings.
