These are AKs shooting numbers over the last 3 games overall and from 3. Sure we didnt need much from him against Marq and Nova but this is concerning. Hope this week off gets him right because he is ice cold right now.

We are talking AK here. And I find his initials interesting. He was born to be a shooter. Just like Hurley said get the misses out now. Pretty soon it is win or go home time and at that point my money is on AK making the shots.

He’s only scored double figures in 9 of the 17 BE games so far and 4 of those are DePaul Georgetown. He’s definitely been inconsistent in BE play.

You're really worried after 3 games? There's a very good sample size, almost 2 full seasons, with Karaban to know what you're getting. Just like any player in sports there are ups and downs.

UNH and Kansas - 7/22 and 2/13
Next 2 games, UNC and APB - 17/29 and 8/18

Seton Hall and St. John's - 6/20 and 2/10
Next 4 games, DePaul, Butler, Xavier and GT - 27/41 and 16/24

Nova, Xavier, PC and Butler - 13/32 and 6/18
Next 2 games, Georgetown and DePaul - 16/24 and 9/16

He's in a 3 game slump right now so put some money on him busting out against Seton Hall. Unless there's some injury that we don't know about that is causing the slump. As Hurley said after one of his mini slumps, "Alex is Alex. He's far down on my list of concerns."

No not after just 3 games thatd be overreaction. As has been pointed out he has not exactly lit it up in conference against the better teams. Im not losing sleep over it but it sure has my attention.

Newton had a pretty bad stretch also. The good thing is Karaban doesn't have to carry the team. He can be the 4th leading scorer every game and they're still good. But I hope he starts hitting more shots against the better teams. I think he will.

“I knew I was eventually going to get out of it,” said Karaban, who went 4 of 22 from 3-point range over his previous four games. “It felt really good. It's just nice to have teammates and coaches who continue to have trust in me and just continue to tell me to shoot it every time."

4-6 from three last night. So 9-15 the last 2 games. He's on the upswing.

Still concerned? :)
