Karaban Love Fest Thread

Is the senior day ceremony going to be streamed anywhere?

Answering my own question, it looks like it'll be on UConn+ at 11:30

Thank you for this

His mom wants him to be an engineer, tho

He has already proven himself to be an engineer of basketball success!

 

[Scoe]

Thanks for the memories and hopefully more to come. A total winner in everything he does. A husky legend that's a local kid right down your street who carries himself like a regular Joe.

Alex has done so much for this UConn Basketball program. You can question his play at certain times, like any player, but you cannot question what he has meant for the UConn Basketball program and what the UConn Basketball program means to him. He bleeds UConn Blue and fully committed to UConn. I can see him becoming a coach someday.

We are so spoiled to have this guy. Ultimate team guy. Loves the school and his teammates. As an alum who loves my school it’s awesome to see the athletes who buy in and love it as much as I do.

Crazy watching some of these highlight reels that showcase how great a passer Cam Spencer was.

Awesome Karaban
Winningest Husky ever
Thank you, Alex K!

 

[Scoe]

Totally and completely deserved.

He has meant so much to this program since stepping on campus.

Once again, when you consider not only the great basketball players but also the special young men who have played for this program and donned the UConn jersey over the last 40 years, we have been truly blessed as a fan base.

Thank you Alex... for everything! You deserve every accolade you receive!

Gotta think he will get some video messages from ex team mates going back to the 23 team.

Congrats Alex! A great Husky.
I’m crying too!!

He's not the greatest Husky in terms of pure talent, but overall he's one of the greatest we've had in the program's history. Hopefully he can go out with a bang this year in 1 last ride.

If we had Cam last year I think we could have 3-peated. But alas.

A New England kid who stays home (unlike the kid from Maine ahem), a real student athlete, two time (at least) national champion, strong performer/extra coach on the floor.
There will be times next year where we look like a mess on the floor and we will wonder why and it could be in part because karaban isnt there to tell a player what they should be doing as the play is going on.

 

[Ctedgeman]

When the playing career is done, however long it ends up being, I'd love to seem him back on the bench as an assistant coach

Thank god for Alex Karaban

ALEX KARABAN. He single handedly willed us to that win.

A New England Hero forever.

 

[Scottobot]

He refused to lose his final home game. What a stud

Capt Connecticut.

 

[jibsey]

There’s not going to be anyone who can replace Alex. I’m sure we’re going to have a roster with great players but you can’t replace what Alex is. Prediction. Hurley will cry in the postgame. Mark it down.

 

[Kolumbo]

Is Alex the first player to be inducted while still playing? Had his number hung before the regular season is over.

 

[Henry]

We certainly don't win this game without Alex.........or many others.

 

[TrueBlue22]

Yeah, Gemini didn’t do much better 😭

The first before the season was over. Kemba, Shabazz and Tristen were inducted right after the championship, but they were still considered active players.

 

[BFieldHusky]

Great game by Alex. He certainly kept us in it.

 

[superjohn]

The expectations on AK have been unbelievable the past 2 seasons. Too much has been thrust upon him, IMO. Once again all the pressure was on him today and he had one of his best games ever as a Husky when we really needed it from him.
