Alex Karaban chose to return to UConn instead of pursuing the NBA, motivated by the goal of winning a national championship. He scored a career-high 27 points in a victory over UCLA, propelling the Huskies to the Sweet 16. Coach Dan Hurley noted that the team becomes dangerous after advancing past the first round. UConn aims for a third national title, having previously won consecutive championships in 2023 and 2024, and is determined to continue their tournament run.
""I ultimately came back here to win. Every time I've had a decision to come back, I came back just wanting to win and help this team out, but also just enjoying every second I have in a UConn jersey.""
""When we got out of the first round, we become very dangerous because when Huskies get out of the first round, you start believing that a run is coming.""
