Azzi Fudd

[Puertorock43]

I must of missed something but what happen to azzi fudd?

 

[Kaizen]

She hurt her knee and was sitting in the bench for 2nd half. But I think she is OK.

 

[Puertorock43]

Thank you so much, hopefully it’s nothing and being cautious this team dose not need another injury.

 

[EricLA]

Azzi is a treasure, and not only an incredibly gifted player, but every coaches dream as a star for their team. Sweet, kind, works her butt off, leads by example, always with a smile on her face - but stone cold assassin on the floor. Whereas Paige is more Diana Taurasi, I think Azzi is more Sue Bird.

Prayers for her health, and looking forward to seeing what a healthy Paige and Azzi can do.

With respect, EricLA, Paige is nothing like Diana, except both being multi-talented players. Paige might tear your heart out with her play, but she'll make sure you're okay right afterward.

I'd say Paige has the best parts of both Sue and Diana. Azzi has yet to ascend to the realm in big games where she should be compared to any of those three, much as I believe she will...

I think it was a good decision being cautious with Azzi. Still very early in the season.

What do you consider “big games”. 32 points against both Texas & NC State and another 24 against Iowa (all Top-10 at the time) is no easy feat.

I think they might need an MRI to be absolutely sure.

Somebody pushed Edwards to knock her down. Anyone see who it was?

 

[Centerstream]

Could be but I think if Geno said "he's guessing" that Azzi will play Thursday then I don't think that an MRI is happening. Fingers crossed.

Looked like Ebo, but I'm not sure.

It was Ebo. Was called for a fouling that play.

I swore I would never post about Bueckers again, but really, if anything, Fudd could be compared to Bueckers much more realistically than Bueckers to Bird and Taurasi. That comparison would not be appropriate until Bueckers has about 10 more years of great play and championships at multiple levels on her resume.

I was just talking college ball and personality for this thread, but otherwise a cogent point, Littlemin. Thanks for the reminder.

 

[darrell]

Looked like Ebo, but I'm not sure.

Wasn’t it KK Bransford (who was guarding Azzi at the time)?

Please stop posting about Paige. You know why you had to swear not to post about her again.

 

[JellyBean]

Wasn’t it KK Bransford (who was guarding Azzi at the time)?

Yeah. I thought that it was Bransford as well. She blew up the screen and ran into Aaliyah who then fell back and hit Azzi's leg and hyperextended that knee. Hope all is well with Azzi. Pretty cool of Aaliyah to go over and check on Azzi.

3 games does not a 4 year career make.

So in that case, we shouldn’t put Paige on that level either? She’s had one fully healthy season. Azzi will have played more games than her at UConn by the end of the season.

With Bird and Taurasi? No, you shouldn’t.

Paige was National Player of the Year as a freshman. Team leader for two final four runs.

No it was the kid worth the pink sneakers.Watson? Maybe. Threw her arms up right away knew exactly what she did.

You are correct
