HARTFORD, Conn. — Though she showed glimpses of greatness, Azzi Fudd didn’t feel at all like herself in her freshman season at UConn. The 5-foot-11 guard dealt with a foot injury all year which hampered her movement and limited her effectiveness.
Huskies coach Geno Auriemma was already expecting to Fudd to make a big leap as a sophomore, but now she’ll be asked to do even more with star guard Paige Bueckers out with a torn ACL for the entirety of the 2022-23 season.
“There’s no reason why she can’t be one of the top players in the country,” Auriemma said. “And that’s how I’m going to coach her, because that’s what I think she can do.”
