- UConn Women's Basketball: Who is in Huskies of Honor?
On Thursday, the UConn Huskies women's basketball program announced that former standout Azzi Fudd will join the exclusive ' Huskies of Honor' on Nov. 8 when the Huskies host Iowa at Gampel Pavilion.
It's another great honor in Storrs for Fudd, who helped lead the Huskies to a national title in 2024-25. An All-American as a senior, she also led the Huskies to a 38-1 record in 2025-26, with the only loss coming in the Final Four.

After her great senior year, she was made the No. 1 pick in the WNBA Draft by the Dallas Wings, becoming the seventh former Huskies player to be the No. 1 pick in the WNBA Draft (Fudd, Paige Bueckers, Sue Bird, Diana Taurasi, Tina Charles, Maya Moore, Breanna Stewart).
