Geno Auriemma Thinks Azzi Fudd Avoided 'Worst Case Scenario' With UConn Injury Scare

[RandySF]

The No. 2 ranked UConn Huskies women's basketball team finished off a dominant 85-52 win over the No. 22 ranked Louisville Cardinals on Saturday as part of the Women's Champions Classic in Brooklyn, New York.

Despite another sub-par offensive evening for Huskies superstar Paige Bueckers, UConn relied on their depth and frontcourt dominance (specifically from freshman Sarah Strong) to secure what ended up being an easy win.

Beloved Huskies guard Azzi Fudd also produced a solid performance, finishing the game with 18 points on 4-7 shooting from three-point range.

However, it wasn't all smiles from Fudd on Saturday, as UConn fans had to hold their collective breath for a while during the game once she went to the locker room after suffering an apparent injury.

Fudd was defending in the third quarter when she was on the receiving end of a hard screen by a Louisville player. She went to the floor awkwardly and appeared to be in some pain.
