This past weekend, the UConn Huskies basketball superstar attended the Kansas City Chiefs game in Los Angeles, where the Chiefs defeated the Los Angeles Chargers in a 17-10 victory. But as Bueckers was on the other side of the country, this raised concerns among fans, who were worried if she’d make it to class on time today.

Nevertheless, Bueckers took to her Instagram Story this morning to reveal that she did, in fact, make it to class.

And while she was out and about in LA, she didn’t miss a beat. After the game, her bestie, Rae Burrell of the Los Angeles Sparks, shared a Snapchat Story featuring herself, and Kallie Rock hanging out and watching TV on a couch, while Bueckers was seated to the side, appearing to work on homework assignments.

Bueckers’ jet-setting lifestyle has become a running joke among fans. Earlier this month, she attended a New York Liberty game, which led to many jokes about her cutting class. But the following day, she confirmed her attended via her Instagram Story. As indicated by her latest story, Bueckers is in on the jokes, and even gets a good laugh out of them.

But don’t come at her sideways, because fans will quickly come through with the receipts — which indicate she has a promising GPA, all while balancing an enviable social life.

If You Could Put Any Cleveland Baseball Player from the Past on the 2026 Team, Who Would it Be?

We are beginning to see the 2026 roster shape up – now it’s time to get your time machines out.

What Cleveland baseball player from the past would make the biggest impact on the 2026 Cleveland Guardians?

Is it 2017 Francisco Lindor anchoring the team from the shortstop position? Or 1948 Lou Boudreau?

Is it 2002 Jim Thome or 2006 Travis Hafner providing thump in the middle of the lineup? Maybe 1953 Al Rosen gets to DH and spell Jose at third?

Is it 2014 Michael Brantely in right field? 1994 Kenny Lofton in center? 2006 Grady Sizemore in center? 1920 Tris Speaker in center?

1995 Albert Belle providing a shock to the system in left?

Or do you want an ace – maybe 2017 Corey Kluber, 1946 Bob Feller, 2008 CC Sabathia, 1969 Sam McDowell, 1972 Gaylord Perry, 2008 Cliff Lee or 1968 Luis Tiant?
