There is only one shot-clock era Husky whose career per-game averages meet or exceed those of Alex Karaban in Points, Rebounds, Assists, Blocks and Steals.

Putting my guess in: this must be Shabazz. I know I remember him leading all categories (at least for a time) as a senior.

Edit: didn’t realize the image already had the answer (it’s beyond tiny on my phone).

IDK, I mean he needs to be some part of the discussion about great UConn players, but when you've got 6 championships, an NIT title, etc., a guy that has none of that is pretty far down the list.

Plus1 final 4😁... if only Dyson....
 
Milestone Watch Update

Minutes (4278, 4th) - Karaban has passed Chris Smith for 4th all time in MP. He is probably 2 games away from moving into 2nd place.

3PFG (257, 4th) - Karaban is now only 3 away from Shabazz for 3rd place. He potentially could tie or pass Shabazz on Tuesday vs Xavier.

DWS (7.4, t-9th) - Karaban has now teid Shabazz and Sticks for 9th place. He potentially could pass them for sole 9th place on Tuesday vs Xavier.

Karaban only needs 281 steals to tie Scotty Burrell.

Just a reminder how good a defender Scotty was. Crazy.

That, Emekas block record and Smiths scoring record will likely never be broken. No one will stay in school long enough if they’re good enough to challenge Smiths points and the game has shifted outside enough that no one is averaging 4.3 BPG again
 
A couple things I missed.

Games (134, 9th) - Karaban tied Ricky Moore and Tiliek Brown for 9th place in games yesterday. Next game he will move into 6th with Denham Brown, Tyler Olander, and Tyler Polley.

-----

Wins (???) - This one is super confusing. There is a ton of stuff out there about how Samson Johnson is the winningest player in UConn history, and by means of being part of winning teams, he is, but by actual games played, he's nowhere near the top. If you count all wins a team has gotten, it gets a little murky. Rashamel Jones, Antric Klaiber, and Ricky Moore were all part of teams that won 116 games. However, 2 of those wins were vacated, so they sit at 114. This puts them at #2 to Samson Johnson's 115. Now Karaban's teams sit at 114 as well, so he is tied for 2nd if you don't count vacated wins, and 5th if you do. But what if you are asking most wins that a player actually played in. Well Karaban now sits at 111, and as far as I can tell, might put him in 1st. Jones played in 132/141 games, Klaiber in 115/141, and Moore in 134/141. Without going through each game (and I am not sure the roster data even exists, but it might be out there), Klaiber won a max of 101 games, Jones a max of 112, and Moore a max of all 114 wins.

I went deeper. Moore was suspended for 1 win in 1997, bringing his max to 113.

And deeper. Moore was injured for the Eastern Michigan win in the round of 32 in 1995-96 and DNP. That brings him down to 112.

I will do more research. At worst, Karaban is currently 1 game from 1st place in Wins played, and probably is already the all time leader.

-----

Mintues (4307, 4th) - Karaban is 15 minutes away from Boatright (4322) in 3rd and 25 from Freeman (4332) in 2nd. He should get there on Friday.

FG (592, UR) - Karaban is 10 FG away from getting on the board over Adrien (602). It probably won't happen on Friday, but you never know.

3PFG (257, 4th) - Karaban is still only 3 away from Shabazz for 3rd place, having hit none against Xavier. He potentially could tie or pass Shabazz on Friday.

DWS (7.5, 9th) - Karaban has now passed Shabazz and Sticks for 9th place. He is 0.3 away from Jerome Dyson for 8th.
 
Okay I can say with 100% confidence that Ricky Moore has 112 wins played. I have accounted for all 7 missed games in his career. If you don't include vacated wins, he drops to 111 wins played.

Rashamel Jones missed 2 games in 1996-97 due to an injured knee. UConn lost both games. Those are the only missed games I was able to identify. I want to clarify, Jones is at 114 Wins if you count the vacated wins, and 112 if you don't.
 
After all that hooplah, Karaban did not end up getting a win on Friday. That said, we had a bunch of movement on the record lists from Karaban.

Games (135, t-6th) - Karaban is now in 6th place tied with Denham Brown, Tyler Olander, and Tyler Polley. Next game, he will take sole possession of 6th, and in 3 games move to 4th with Whaley and Voskhul.

Wins (114/111, t-2nd/t-2nd) - See previous posts about wins. Karaban's next win will tie him with Samson Johnson for most wins for the teams he was part of (115) and Ricky Moore most wins participated in (112), assuming you don't count vacated wins.

Mintues (4342, 2nd) - Karaban is now in 2nd place all time in minutes, passing Boatright and Freeman yesterday. He is still on pace to become #1 this season over Shabazz (4614) in either the Big East Tournament or the Dance.

FG (599, UR) - Karaban is only 3 FG away from Adrien (602, 10th). Next game we probably see Karaban pass him.

3PFG (260, t-3rd) - The one brights spot yesterday was Karaban tying Shabazz for 3rd in 3PFG. Next game he will probably pass him for sole possession of 3rd, and potentially can reach Vital (265) for 2nd.

DWS (7.5, 9th) - No change here. He is still 0.3 away from Jerome Dyson for 8th.

WS (19.6, 4th) - Karaban is approaching Thabeet (19.9) for third place.

I love these detailed updates from you and appreciate you taking the time to do them.

I also have one note, with all due respect: I definitely DO count vacated wins and don’t abide NCAA vacancies whatsoever.

Again, thank you for doing these. I was almost surprised the announcers didn’t mention it when AK hit his third triple. I feel Fanta absolutely would’ve had that fact queued up.

Updates!

Games (136, 6th) - Karaban is now in sole possession of 6th pace after passing Denham Brown, Tyler Olander, and Tyler Polley. He is now 2 games behind Whaley and Voskuhl for 4th.

Games Started (135, t-1st) - Dunno how i missed this one. Karaban tied Jake Voskuhl for 1st all time in Games Started. Next game he will be in sole possession of 1st place.

Wins (115/112, t-1st/t-1st) - Karaban is now tied with Samson Johnson for the winningest husky by team wins at 115. If they can beat Georgetown on Saturday, he will take sole possession of 1st. He also has tied Rickey Moore for most wins played in at 112. One more win and he will take sole possession of first. If you count vacated wins, he will still be tied for 1st to Rickey Moore's 113.

FG (602, t-10th) - KARABAN IS ON THE BOARD! He tied Adrien for 10th. He should move into sole 10th place next game.

3PFG (260, t-3rd) - Still tied at 3rd. Next game he will probably pass Shabazz for sole possession of 3rd, and potentially can reach Vital (265) for 2nd.

DWS (7.5, 9th) - Hasn't moved. He is still 0.3 away from Jerome Dyson for 8th.

WS (19.6, 4th) - No movement. Behind Thabeet (19.9) for third place.

Love these updates! Rooting for a Hurley recruit largely because he was the first recruit for the 2x champ years.

Updates!

Games (137, 6th) - Next game Karaban will tie Whaley and Voskuhl for 4th.

Games Started (136, 1st) - KARABAN IS THE START KING! He is the all time leader in starts all time!

Wins (116/113, 1st/1st) - ANOTHER TOP OF THE CHART! KARABAN IS THE ALL TIME WIN KING! He passes Samson for team wins and Moore for Wins played. If you count vacated wins, he is tied with Moore all time. Next game he should take the all time lead by any measure.

FG (607, 10th) - Karaban now is in sole possession of 10th place, knicking off Adrien. Next up is Cliff Robinson at 624. He is on pace to pass him in 4 games vs Seton Hall.

3PFG (264, 3rd) - Karaban passed Shabazz for 3rd place. He is only 1 away from Vital (265), and should pass him for 2nd next game.

Blocks (134, UR) - There was an outside chance Karaban could catch Oriakhi (169) at mid season, but I concede the really is no way he catches him now. With 15 games possible left, Karaban would need to block 2.3 per game, which is almost 3x as much as he is doing currently.

Points (1701, UR) - Karaban is 34 points behind Vital to get on the board for points. While it is not probable, it is possible he gets it next game.

DWS (7.5, 9th) - Still hasn't moved. He is 0.3 away from Jerome Dyson for 8th.

WS (19.8, 4th) - He sits just behind Thabeet (19.9) for third place. There is a good chance he gets it next game.

Scotty was the 3rd or 4th best at steals on the Dream Team
Getting the ball into the front court wasn’t easy when they were into it.
 
Well that was a nightmare. Onto the next one.

Games (138, t-4th) - Next game Karaban will pass Whaley and Voskuhl for sole possession of 4th place and tie Niels Giffey (139) for 3rd.

Wins played in(113 t-1st*) - Well we should have won. Karaban with 1 more win will pass Rickey Moore (114) for most wins played in if you count Rickey Moore's vacated win.

3PFG (264, 3rd) - Karaban did fuckall, and did not pass Vital. However, despite that, again, he is only 1 away from Vital (265), and should pass him for 2nd next game.

Points (1703, UR) - Karaban is 32 points behind Vital to get on the board for points. If Karaban has an incredible game, it is possible.

WS (19.6, 4th) - Karaban had such a bad game, he moved back .2 in WS. He is now 0.3 behind Thabeet.
 
Games (139, t-3rd) - Karaban moved past Whaley and Voskuhl and tied Niels Giffey for 3rd at 139. Next game he will tie Freeman for 2nd at 140.

Wins played (114, 1st) - No matter how you cut it, Karaban is the winningest Husky of all time. Most wins, most wins played in, most wins played in even if you count vacated games.

3PFG (264, 3rd) - Still only 1 away from Vital (265), and should pass him for 2nd next game.

Points (1715, UR) - Karaban is 20 points behind Vital to get on the board for points. He will get there soon, hopefully.

WS (19.8, 4th) - Karaban moved back up to 19.8 and is only .1 behind Thabeet at 3r.
 
Games (140, t-2nd) - Karaban passed Niels Giffey for 3rd yesterday and tied Freeman for 2nd at 140. Next game he will move into sole possession of 2nd. The all time leader is Shabazz at 143.

FG (619, 10th) - Karaban is 5 FG behind Cliff for 9th. There is a chance he gets it Saturday.

DRB (480, 9th) - I totally didn't realize this, but Karaban actually recently got on the board and moved past Shabazz for 9th place all time in defensive rebounds.

3PFG (266, 2nd) - Karaban finally passed Vitale for 2nd. He is 10 behind Rashaad Anderson now for the all time UConn record.

Points (1729, UR) - Karaban is 6 points behind Vital now for 10th. He should get it on Saturday.

DWS (7.7, 9th) - Karaban is just 0.1 behind Dyson for 8th. He could get it on Saturday.

WS (20.0, 3rd) - Karaban passed Hasheem Thabeet yesterday. Shabazz Napier is next at 20.2 WS.
