Azzi Fudd shares hilarious Paige Bueckers tidbit ahead of UConn's Final Four matchup

After UConn’s 78-64 win over No. 1-seeded USC in the Elite Eight, Azzi Fudd shared a hilarious behind-the-scenes moment about her close friend and star, Paige Bueckers. Bueckers and freshman Sarah Strong put up game high 31 points and 17 rebounds respectively in the win over USC, while Fudd had a quiet offensive night with eight points.

During a postgame interview on Tuesday, Fudd playfully revealed one of Bueckers’ funny moments that had reporters cracking up.

"She is a bookworm," Fudd said, referring to Bueckers’ love for reading before she spilled the tea: "She did delete social media for the tournament, but she does love to watch her highlights and her edits."

When asked if Bueckers still managed to watch her game highlights despite deleting social media, Fudd responded with another funny scenario.

"Well, she deleted social media, so she'll probably steal my phone to look at herself," Fudd said. "She's gonna kill me when she hears this."

Azzi Fudd jokingly acknowledged the potential backlash that she might experience from Paige Bueckers for her comments. Bueckers has been projected as the No. 1 pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, and has scored 30 or more points in three straight games. Before that, she will be aiming to rally the Huskies to the ultimate prize.
