Azzi Fudd had enough of Paige Bueckers' goofy antics in a funny video uploaded by the Women's Champions Classic on Instagram on Wednesday. The UConn Huskies pair participated in a "Let's be honest" segment for the tournament and Fudd seemingly grew tired of Bueckers' antics during the shoot and hilariously 'shushed' her.

Fudd and Bueckers were seen holding sticks with their faces on them. They were asked a series of questions and the UConn stars answered by raising the face of the person who fits that description.

Bueckers showed her goofy side as she tried to annoy Fudd during the camera shoot. At the start of the clip, the senior guard was seen placing the stick face near Fudd's head. Fudd wasn't having it, warding off the stick with her left hand and asking Bueckers to stop.

That didn't deter Bueckers, who continued to pester her UConn pal. She made up a conversation between the two face sticks using funny voices, prompting Fudd to shush her teammate.

Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd weren't the only ones seen having a good time. The Instagram post showed Louisville pair Merissah Russell and Olivia Cochran, Iowa tandem Hannah Stuelke and Lucy Olsen, and Tennessee duo Jillian Hollingshead and Samara Spencer laughing as they did their respective segments for the tournament.

The Women's Champions Classic, which occurred on Dec. 7, featured two blockbuster games at Barclays Center. The Tennessee Lady Volunteers faced the Iowa Hawkeyes in the opening game before the UConn Huskies squared off against the Louisville Cardinals in the nightcap.

Fudd finished the contest with 18 points, four rebounds and two assists. She shot 6-for-10, including 4-of-7 from the 3-point area. Bueckers struggled with her shooting but still collected eight points, 10 rebounds and six assists in 26 minutes of action.

Fudd played just 18 minutes against the Cardinals after having an injury scare in the third quarter. She sprained her right knee after colliding with a Louisville defender. Fudd avoided a long-term injury, missing just three games before returning to action against the USC Trojans on Dec. 21.
