Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd have waited a long time for this moment.
UConn’s one-two punch of Bueckers and Fudd came close to winning it all in 2022, but the Huskies fell short to South Carolina in the championship game. Despite the 64-49 blowout loss, the future looked bright for UConn and its dynamic duo. But as fate would have it, that loss would end up being the last March Madness game Bueckers and Fudd would play together for the next 1,084 days due to a string of devastating injuries.
