UConn's Azzi Fudd Bringing Unmatched Efficiency in 2025

UConn Huskies star Azzi Fudd begins the 2025–26 college basketball season carrying the momentum of one of the most precise postseason runs ever by a guard.

Fresh off leading the University of Connecticut to its 12th national championship, Fudd enters her redshirt senior year as the engine of a team expected to defend its title.

Her elite shooting touch, combined with newfound health, places her among the most efficient scorers in the game today — and the numbers back it up.

Championship Efficiency Redefined

Few players in women’s college basketball history have delivered a postseason stretch as efficient as Fudd’s 2025 tournament run.

The Arlington native was named the NCAA Tournament’s Most Outstanding Player after torching opponents with remarkable accuracy, averaging 22.5 points on 64 percent shooting from the field and a stunning 64.3 percent from three-point range.

Her performance in the championship against top-seeded South Carolina underscored her dominance — a game-high 24 points on nearly 53 percent shooting that powered UConn to an 82–59 victory.

Fudd became only the third guard on a national title team to average at least 20 points while shooting 50 percent or better in both the semifinal and final. Across those two games against UCLA and South Carolina, she produced 21.5 points per contest on 55.1 percent shooting.

Her regular season numbers further illustrate her precision. She averaged 13.4 points while shooting 48.6 percent overall, 45.3 percent from beyond the arc, and 92.6 percent from the free-throw line — marks that put her on the edge of the rare 50/40/90 club.
