" As UConn Huskies guard Azzi Fudd looks to win her second national championship in her final year with the team, her parents Katie Smrcka-Duffy Fudd and Tim Fudd will be cheering her on. “They’re the reason I’m playing basketball,” she told reporters after winning last year.

“They taught me most of the things I know, so shout-out Mom and Dad. ” Azzi’s brothers, Jon and Jose, were adopted and have roots in Guatemala. “All of us look like we come from a different family,” Azzi said .

“But, that’s something I love about the way we look. ” Katie added, “We have a lot of jokes in the house about how everybody looks, but it’s the family. It’s what we know.

I wouldn't look at us and say we don’t belong, because to me, we fit together perfectly. But I do think it is funny sometimes how others see it. ” The Fudd family on Azzi’s senior day, posing with head coach Geno Auriemma.
