“I’m really happy for her,” Bueckers said. “Me and Angel are close friends, great competitors. People who just want the best for each other. We stayed in contact, just wishing her the best, just talking to her, talking basketball, talking hoops. To see her drive on the biggest stage, she deserves it. She works for it. I’m really happy for her. The crown that she wears is heavy, but she wears it well and she wears it with pride. To see how she handles everything with grace and would just be unapologetically herself, I admire that. So it’s really great to see her here.”
