Paige Bueckers and Ice Brady developed a close bond while playing at UConn. The friendship grew stronger when they were sidelined with respective knee injuries.

They supported each other during the rehabilitation phase and were even rumored to have a romantic relationship. Eventually, Bueckers confirmed she is dating Brady's teammate and UConn shoting guard Azzi Fudd.

Bueckers started in the All-Star Game for Team Collier and played for 22 minutes. She finished with six points, two rebounds and eight assists, helping Team Collier surge home to a 151-131 win over Team Clark.

Ice Brady, teammates look to fill up the leadership void left by Paige Bueckers

Ice Brady and the rest of the senior players in UConn will look to fill the leadership void left off by superstar guard Paige Bueckers, who led the Huskies to its first national championship in nine years and 12th NCAA title overall.

Upperclassmen Brady, Azzi Fudd, KK Arnold, Caroline Ducharme and Ashlynn Shade will likely share the leader's role in the team's defense of the national championship on and off the court.

Arnold treats the situation as an opportunity to step up to a bigger role and help the team remain a women's basketball power in the nation. Shade, on the other hand, looks to challenge herself and be a vocal presence for the Huskies in the coming season.

Fudd believes the 2025-26 edition of the Huskies will remain a deep team without Bueckers. She claims that the seniors are vocal in its practice sessions, leading by example and helping the junior and freshmen players achieve the goal of giving UConn back-to-back titles and 13th crown overall.
