    UConn star Paige Bueckers and her head coach Geno Auriemma clearly have a great relationship together.

    While Bueckers has never won an NCAA Championship at UConn, she still seems to be one of Auriemma's favorite players he has ever coached.

    What's for sure is that UConn appears poised to compete for an NCAA Championship next season; especially now that Caitlin Clark has departed from Iowa, and is now playing in the WNBA.

    But a potential 2025 NCAA Championship is still a ways away. For now, Bueckers is content to roast her head coach with a hilarious toy display.

    Bueckers posted an Instagram story Tuesday afternoon that displayed a Lego set of the Pixar movie "Up".

    The set has Lego versions of the movie's three main characters: Carl Fredricksen (a 78-year-old balloon salesman), Russell (kid boy scout), and Dug (Dog).

    Bueckers is appearing to compare Auriemma to Fredricksen in her story, as her caption writes, "Coach in his natural habitat".

    Bueckers comparing Auriemma to Fredricksen is hilarious, and shows that the bond the two UConn icons have together is thick enough to endure some light-hearted teasing.
