Azzi Fudd and Paige Bueckers shared their goofy side in the latest TikTok post over the weekend. Fudd posted a video of the two UConn guards dancing to "Thief In the Night" by Young Thug. While the red-short junior was in an Olaf onesie, Bueckers wore her Huskies gear.
Fudd captioned the TikTok as "draft" in reference to her interview with Overtime WBB, where she shared that she had 500 videos in her drafts. With an impending ban on TikTok, fans pleaded with the guard to share them all before she lost them, and it looks like she listened.
Watch the video below:
Luckily for Fudd and her fans, after a 14-hour blackout starting Saturday night, TikTok resumed working in the U.S. on Sunday. Fans hope the guard will drop more videos soon.
Azzi Fudd is playing her fourth season with the Huskies. She has yet to play a full campaign at UConn as she battled with injuries in all three previous seasons. Fudd missed the entire 2023-24 season, except for two games, as she tore her ACL. She returned to play on Nov. 20 against Fairleigh Dickinson. The guard is averaging 11.5 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists.
Azzi Fudd reacted to Paige Bueckers crossing important UConn career milestone
Paige Bueckers is playing her fifth and final season with the UConn Huskies, and on Sunday she crossed the 2000 career points mark. The guard is the fastest Huskies player to achieve this (102 games), as she did it six games quicker than Maya Moore.
Bueckers came into the game against Seton Hall with 1994 points, and Azzi Fudd was asked about the potential milestone during the pregame chat on Friday.
“When you come here, you're looking at those banners, you're looking at all those names, all the national championships, and that definitely is, like, your inspiration every single day," Fudd said. "So, for her to be able to kind of be included in that conversation, I think, is just an incredible accomplishment.
“And I mean, I think it feels a little different while you're still here and still, like, in the thick of it, still trying to win a national championship, like, still going through the grind every single day, but hopefully she'll be able to kind of take that step back and appreciate the moment for a second too.”
With Fudd and Bueckers playing well, Aubrey Griffin's return and the overall excellent performances from the freshman class, the UConn Huskies make a strong contention for the national championship. This would be their first since 2016 and Paige's only title.
The Huskies return to action on Wednesday when they host the Villanova Wildcats for a return game. Their first clash on Jan. 5 saw UConn win 83-52.
