Azzi Fudd describes UConn teammates Paige Bueckers and Sarah Strong as "easy to play with"

Azzi Fudd spoke about playing with Paige Bueckers and Sarah Strong this season, saying that they helped regain her confidence after a long hiatus following a knee injury.

Following UConn's Big East Tournament title-clinching win over Creighton, the 5-foot-11 guard described playing with fellow senior Bueckers and freshman Strong as fun and easy due to their selflessness on the court.

"Playing with them is incredibly fun. I mean playing with people who just know how to play basketball, who can do just about everything on the core and makes it so easy to play with," Fudd said during the postgame presser following UConn's Big East Tournament win over Creighton. (1:12)

Fudd noted how the ability of Strong and Bueckers to find open teammates made it easier for them to fire away from the perimeter and knock down jumpshots, helping the team win 31 games this season.

"They can do everything, so it just makes it so much fun to play. With and so easy to play with, as well," she said. (1:35)

Fudd and UConn will wait until Selection Sunday to determine their seeding and first opponent in the 2025 NCAA Tournament.
