UConn star Azzi Fudd has said she felt Kobe and Gianna Bryant watching down on the Huskies game against South Carolina.

"Someone else asked me," Fudd said. "There were a couple scores -- 24, 8 -- in the stat line and they were like, 'Do you believe in God's power?"

"And I was like, 'Yeah, that's God. That's them. That's Kobe. That's Gigi. That's them watching down on us, cheering us on in this game. She was there. She's not here, but she was there in spirit."

Five years after the tragic accident that claimed the lives of the NBA legend and his daughter, a huge UConn fan, Fudd felt their presence as she and her teammates secured the national championship win over South Carolina in San Antonio.

Fudd had met Kobe and Gigi Bryant in the past, even working out with them in LA just months before their passing. Recalling photos from their on-court session brought the star to tears as she reflected on how Gigi would have been a college freshman this year.
