UConn's [URL='https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/players/26887892/alex-karaban/']Alex Karaban[/URL] having a block party[/I][/SIZE][/HEADING] [I]Karaban has registered 11 (!) blocks in [URL='https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/teams/UCONN/connecticut-huskies/']UConn[/URL]'s first two dominant wins over [URL='https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/teams/SACHRT/sacred-heart-pioneers/']Sacred Heart[/URL] and New Hampshire. The 6-8 wing seems to have this innate ability to know what his defensive assignment is going to do before they do it. His anticipation, feel and competitive spirit on the defensive end is absurd. Most of Karaban's blocks have not been of the secondary rim protection variety. He's not coming out of nowhere to catch someone napping. It's way more impressive. It's one-on-one, mano-a-mano. My best versus your best. Karaban is winning those jousts. Karaban looks like an NBA player who stuck around to play one last year of college basketball.
