Structured Day, Smooth Play:

Fudd, the sharpshooting sensation, spilled the beans to Insider about her game day preparation, emphasizing its “pretty structured” nature. But don’t worry, it’s not all basketball jargon and serious business.

Breakfast of Champions:

Fudd’s day kicks off with her favorite pregame meal—breakfast. The catch? Hotel bacon, according to her, “can go either way.” But fear not; she crafts the ideal omelet, veggie-heavy with a side of potential bacon, toast, and the declaration, “That’s my ideal. I love breakfast. I could eat that anytime.” If it’s a later game, she’s all in for a salad adventure with a potential chicken cameo and a baked potato bar with a side of bacon creativity.

Room Service and Poop Talk:

After this culinary delight, Fudd retreats to her room, whether on campus or at the team’s hotel, for a shower and a date with air compression boots, foam rollers, and stretches. Oh, and she might squeeze in a pregame nap, though nerves sometimes play spoiler.

But here’s the real MVP move—Fudd casually shared, “Usually I take a pre-game poop at the hotel.” No beating around the bush here, just a straightforward slam dunk into the world of athlete routines. And yes, there’s another one before hitting the court. “I usually always have something in me,” she quips. Talk about lightening the load!

Beyond the Court:

The 21-year-old, recovering from earlier injuries, is set to dominate this season. Named to the prestigious John R. Wooden Award preseason watch list, she’s gearing up to lead the eighth-ranked Huskies against the No. 20 Maryland Terrapins. Catch the action on FS1 at 6:30 p.m. ET. It’s not just a game; it’s a Fudd experience.
