The point of sale has asked Bueckers many questions on Fudd, in particular which high school she has attended, which college for her father played and what the Fudd telephone affair said (“ girlfriend of Paige Bueckers).
The point of sale then implored Bueckers to make a “girlfriend to reveal”, and she said it was Fudd.

It has not been known for how long Fudd and Bueckers have come out together, but at the very least, they were teammates from 2021 to April. Fudd was appointed the most remarkable player in the tournament and is in the conversation to go n ° 1 next year.
Fudd collected an average of 13.6 points per game in its first full season since its first year. She injured her knee in her second year, restricting her at 15 games. Then, the following season, she tore her LCA in practice, forcing her to miss all the matches except two. In an ironic turn, Bueckers torn his LCA before the 2022-23 season to play the collection ball.
The duo played together in two national championship games – Bueckers joined the school a year before Fudd.
