The UConn Huskies, led by the likes of Azzi Fudd and Sarah Strong, are working hard in the current college basketball offseason. On Wednesday, Sept. 3, the Huskies’ social media team posted a series of photos on Instagram, which showed Fudd and Strong working out in the gym as part of their off-court training.
Along with veterans such as KK Arnold, the first photo showed Strong doing an inclined drill with two kettlebells. This was followed by Ayanna Patterson also attempting an inclined drill, this time she is lying on her back and pushing two dumbbells upwards. The next photo showed Fudd working her upper body.
Arnold did a stress ball drill and was followed by transferee Kayleigh Heckel, who was doing squats. Ice Brady, Allie Ziebell, and Ashlynn Shade were also seen doing the same upper body workout, including barbell deadlifts. It seems as though most of the 2025-26 roster was present. The post was capped off with Arnold flexing her biceps for a photo.
“Wednesday work,” @uconnwbb wrote.
