THAT'S why we have Alex Karaban! He was on a mission from God.

"Ross the Boss" - Huge 3's, a slam, a steal at the end, a wicked dish to Reed, defense and also getting fouled (and draining those 3FTs). Did it all. Huge difference maker.

Malachi super solid game again. Way to step up kid. You did what we asked of you.

Nice to see Mullins get back going. Love it, but please please don't step out of bounds anymore.

Lotta lotta travelling calls on UConn. One of em was even real.

Fear of the Bear left our shooters open.

Glad Danny put Solo back in at the end

Oh and one more thing - shout out to Mick Cronin for the technical and the free points.

AK’s best game ever. Sweet 16 baby!!!!

 

[Punkbo]

This one feels real good. Hopefully gearing up for a big run! Let’s Go Huskies!!!

 

[RashadRay11]

Alex Karaban. Build the statue.

We are resilient.

 

[Inyatkin]

Could 100 other guys do what Karaban does? No they could not

 

[HailUConn]

Big props goes to AK, a new career high to boot. He carried us like Captain American!
Ross "the boss" is the difference! I'm super happy to have another year of ROSS.

 

[TheHorde]

W’s are what matters. Rest up and get treatment, Stew and Silas!

 

[ecasadoSBU]

LFFFFG!!!!!! Win and Advance!!

 

[FearThePups]

Great roster management from Danny tonight

 

[Scottobot]

What a game by Karaban. Ross was great too.

 

[Dove]

Another rollercoaster!!! UConn's stamina, talent and coaching prevailed.

 

[Greedo]

Ross is the AJax X factor. Except he can hit the 3 too.

 

[Excalibur]

There are 100 Alex Karabans in college basketball. Every team has one. Replacement level player.



*some of you idiots don’t understand sarcasm, it seems. Or maybe you do and know I’m talking to you . . .

 

[tzznandrew]

Wow. They were terrible for the first 8 minutes. Made rec league turnovers. And won by 16.

I don't think this is a title team (and one game at a time regardless), but they are going to need Ball to hit shots like Solo did last year.

 

[NewBlood]

So we either lose this weekend or win it all. No opponents with home games left.

MSU is next

 

[Jaydumo20]

fans still claiming that Ross is not a starter???. He's the most++++++ on our team.

Make your case. It's not summer 2025.

That was AK's magnum opus, he's been special these 2 tourney games. Jayden Ross minutes have become essential, and thank God for Silas gutting out these minutes because they desperately needed another guard out there while Solo is on an expedition.

Captain Connecticut

 

[Mister P]

Nice second half response. That was a Sweet win. On to DC.
I like our chances against MSU.
Our players will feel comfortable there as they all have played at the Capital Arena at least once and some of them have played there multiple times. I don’t think MSU has played there in the last 4 years. That comfort does make a difference and will be an added plus for us.

 

[karstenkibbe]

Karaban haters will be in the witness protection program tonight. Please do yourselves a favor and stay there.

 

[Dove]

Danny giving MAD MAD props to Alex post game.

 

[Kemba15]

This team is flawed but they are not soft. At 56-52 it could have easily gone the other way, but it didn’t.

What more can you say about Alex Karaban? I can’t believe some of the vitriol he took on here this year. He simply will not go down without giving his all, and his all is a hell of a lot better than a “role player.”

Can’t wait for Friday night.

 

[uconngb]

Im tired of fans still claiming that Ross is not a starter. He's the most++++++ on our team.

Make your case. It's not summer 2025. Get real!

Time to sit him honestly

 

[HooperScooper]

Karaban is just a guy, hey @RuffRuff? Don't ever diss a Southborough kid!

 

[Lanphoon]

Thank you #11. Survive and advance!!!!

Playing a C game isn’t going to get it done from here on out.

Hopefully we don’t have Lappas next weekend. I think he said Reibe rememinded him of Clingan, lol. He’s terrible.

 

[Leebo]

They did what they needed to do.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

1. AK and Mullins haters look real dumb. AK specifically has drawn some of the dumbest takes in this board’s history over the last few months. What a game captain.
2. Ross and Malachi were DOGS tonight
3. Reed still with a key double double.
4. Demary clearly a couple steps slow and still played excellent defense and facilitated. Just no first step on offense right now. Gutted this one out.
5. It won’t happen but you gotta start Ross over Solo next game.
