In its lone exhibition game of the preseason, UConn women’s basketball rolled by Fort Hays State, 111-47.
Aaliyah Edwards got the start alongside Paige Bueckers, Olivia Nelson-Ododa, Christyn Williams, and Evina Westbrook. Williams led all scorers with 20 points but five other Huskies reached double-figures and everyone but Amari DeBerry scored.
UConn will open the regular season on Sunday, Nov. 14 against Arkansas at the XL Center.
The Bueckers-Fudd connection
Expectations were always going to be high for Azzi Fudd as a freshman. Not only is she the No. 1 recruit in the nation and regarded as one of the best high school prospects ever, but she also has the unenviable task of coming in behind Paige Bueckers, who just completed the greatest freshman season in the history of the sport.
