In the clip, she was first asked to pick an emoji that best describes the UConn team.

"The tongue-out emoji," Arnold responded.

KK Arnold then described her teammate, Azzi Fudd, as "the princess emoji." She assigned the cold face emoji to Ice Brady and chose the "shaking my head emoji" — the facepalm emoji – for coach Auriemma.

She was also asked about her playing style:

"The little horns emoji — the purple horn one."

Lastly, she chose the wolf emoji for Jonathan the Husky, UConn's mascot.

KK Arnold embraces leadership role Geno Auriemma expects from veteran players

KK Arnold and Azzi Fudd are two of the most experienced players on UConn's roster. They are returning for one more year to play under Geno Auriemma. Arnold had a limited role on last year's team that went on to win the national championship, but she is expected to take on a much larger role this season.

During an offseason media availability last month, Arnold expressed confidence in her ability to step up as a leader.

"Just coming in this year knowing the type of voice I have," Arnold said (Timestamp- 0:17 onwards). "Knowing how many underclassmen we have and new people, just kind of knowing the ropes around our program, knowing what we want, knowing what coach wants and what we want as a team, and how we want to go about things on the court.

"I think that helped me, Azzi Fudd, Ashlynn Shade and all the returners just voice that and be the leaders on the court," she added.
