UConn women's basketball guard Azzi Fudd has been one of the best players of the women's NCAA Tournament so far, and she looks to help lead the Huskies into the national championship game on Friday.
Fudd, who's averaging 13.1 points per game, has been one of UConn's top scorers all season — and in March Madness. She will play a key role in UConn's quest to add another national championship trophy to its cabinet.
The former five-star recruit and Gatorade National Player of the Year recently announced she's return for the 2025-26 season, where she'll be perhaps UConn's go-to scorer with Paige Bueckers off to the WNBA.
Here's everything to know about Fudd, who's aiming to lead UConn past UCLA in the Final Four on Friday night:
