AK: one of a kind

[HailUConn]

I cannot even pick another one just like him from college, let alone 100.
Major salute to another 4-year veteran Captain America! Your legacy is written!
Bazz is my sole favorite player but now I have two!

Alex has changed his game. Early he deferred to get teammates involved now he is driving aggressively to the rim more and fighting for putbacks. The other thing I noticed is that his shot is not as flat. He’s getting more air under it.
Let’s face it, he’s a coach on the floor and we will need everything he has on Friday.

UConn’s ultimate winner is playing with nothing to lose. That makes Huskies ‘very dangerous’

“This man’s greatness,” said Hurley. “No one’s been better in college sports the last four years in terms of being a winner. So thank you, Alex.”

“Thank you, Coach,” said Alex Karaban, sheepishly...

AK immediately going to Braylon after one of his turnovers, when BM’s body language was starting to look dejected, was one of those key things that doesn’t show up in the box score but we will need to really work hard to replace next year. AK really helped settle Mullins down in the moment it looked like.

Alex was a man possessed. I think some of his disappearing in games is him leading by being an unselfish team player. Yesterday he just said, ok boys let me show how it’s done.

Replacement level…

And doesn't have a single matchup advantage this season.

I think he's also been banged up more than a lot of people think. He wouldn't through a stretch wear my dad and I were joking where his new bruise was going to be. But, he'll never use an excuse. If he's hurt, he's not the type to let people know.

I loved his leadership last night when he went over to tell Mullins to calm down.

Alex definitely led the charge last night, we don't win that game without him scoring points when we needed them to change the tempo. I thought Malachi had a great game too, 33 minutes, very ball dominant, only two turnovers while facing serious defensive guard pressure from UCLA, and playing tough D himself.

We may not have won that game if Alex only scored his average. It certainly would've been a lot closer. His leadership, especially in supporting Braylon, helped the kid not dwell on his mistakes and we needed Braylon's points as well.
