Azzi Fudd is playing like the best version of herself for UConn women’s basketball with a top-10 showdown against No. 4 South Carolina next.

Fudd set the tone early, scoring 13 of her 17 first-half points in the opening quarter and finishing the game shooting 59% from the field. Her third-quarter surge sealed the win for UConn, as she scored 17 points in that period alone, including five three-pointers. The performance marked her first 30-point game since November 2022.
