The clip featured Fudd’s sharpshooting and focus, drawing a wave of support and excitement from fans.

“Paige (Bueckers) would be proud,” one fan wrote.

“The people’s princess hoops I can’t wait😌😌,” another fan said.

“People’s Princess putting in the work 👑,” a fan commented.

Praises kept rolling in for the shooting guard.

“Running back the natty and MOP,” a fan said.

“I live for Azzi Fudd hoops,” another fan wrote.

“She’s basically saying she never misses & she’s not wronggg 🤭,” one fan said.

Fudd had a strong 2024-25 season despite injury setbacks in previous years. She played a key role in the Huskies' run to the national title, posting 13.6 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game.

Her bond with Paige Bueckers has been a major part of her college journey. The two guards have built a close friendship on and off the court, and fans have long celebrated their chemistry.

However, rather than declare for the 2025 WNBA draft like Bueckers, Fudd opted to remain at UConn. She cited unfinished business and her desire to continue growing as a player as her reasons for it.

Azzi Fudd set to host "Hooping for a Cure" camp

Azzi Fudd will host a youth camp in July, with the guard announcing it on May 9.

"Hi everyone! Many of you know I host my Hooping for a Cure camp each summer, and I’m so excited to share it’s back July 26–27 in DC!" Fudd tweeted.

"Hooping for a Cure" is a fundraising event involving a game between student athletes and staff, along with other activities like raffles and auctions. Its goal is to raise money for cancer research and support.
