Key players making their return this season.
The past few seasons have been tough for the UConn Huskies, marked by a string of injuries and a roster that struggled to find consistent form.
However, with four key players making their return this season, there’s a renewed sense of optimism.
Head coach Geno Auriemma is feeling the weight of high expectations, but he remains cautiously optimistic, knowing the team still has weaknesses to address.
A major storyline is the comeback of Azzi Fudd, whose return could be a turning point for UConn.
After enduring three years of setbacks, including a torn ACL, Fudd is on the path to recovery.
Her presence on the court is expected to be a game-changer, especially alongside Paige Bueckers.
The pair are seen as the dynamic duo who can lead the Huskies back to prominence, and there’s a lot riding on their ability to deliver.
“Paige is really under the gun this year because everyone’s expectations are so high.
And when Azzi comes back, it’s gonna be higher,” Auriemma said.
“Azzi looks to be pretty far along. She’s rusty I think, but she seems to be pretty far along.”
A close bond
Despite the limited time they’ve had playing together, Fudd and Bueckers share a close bond off the court, which could help build strong on-court chemistry.
She’s been putting in the work, focusing on refining her 1-on-1 play, improving her shooting range, and building up her strength.
Meanwhile, Fudd is known for her sharp shooting skills, drawing comparisons to the smooth, consistent style of NBA greats.
Her ability to score from anywhere on the court has earned her a reputation as an offensive threat, and her return could be exactly what the Huskies need to get back on track.
