The UConn Huskies women's basketball team plays the final game of their 2024-25 regular season on March 2 when they face off against Marquette at home.

Given that UConn has already won the Big East conference, Sunday's contest doesn't have any glaring postseason implications aside from potential seeding into the NCAA Tournament. However, it's still going to be an emotional day for Huskies players and fans, as it represents the team's senior day.

Huskies senior Azzi Fudd is one of the most beloved players UConn has had in some time. On Friday, an article from Maggie Vanoni of CT insider asserted that while Fudd is planning to participate in the senior day celebration, she's still undecided about whether she'll declare for the 2025 WNBA Draft after this season ends or if she's going to return to UConn for one more college campaign.

Fudd spoke with the media on March 1. And when she was asked about senior day, she offered a funny response.

“No feels, I’m in denial, I'm actually not thinking about it at all," Fudd said with a smile of the looming senior day, per The UConn Daily YouTube account. "Hopefully, I'm gonna stay in denial until after the game, and then the emotions can come out. But I'm trying my hardest to not think about it."

Fudd also mentioned that she thinks her mother will be the most emotional out of all her family members during the celebration on Sunday.

Regardless of whether Fudd's future contains another season spent at UConn, the Huskies star can cement herself as a legend if she helps bring the program their first NCAA National Championship since 2016.
