Azzi Fudd is playing like the best version of herself for UConn women’s basketball with a top-10 showdown against No. 4 South Carolina next.

UConn women's basketball star guard Azzi Fudd changed her pregame routine, both on and off the court, to help her return from injury this season.

Fudd set the tone early, scoring 13 of her 17 first-half points in the opening quarter and finishing the game shooting 59% from the field. Her third-quarter surge sealed the win for UConn, as she scored 17 points in that period alone, including five three-pointers. The performance marked her first 30-point game since November 2022.
