It was a celebratory night in Storrs, as the UConn men’s basketball season began with a pre-game banner-raising ceremony and ended with a dominant 95-52 victory over Northern Arizona at Gampel Pavilion on Monday night.
Alex Karaban scored a career-high 22 points to lead the Huskies, doing it in a lot of different ways. He finished 8-of-12 from the field with some tough buckets and also went 3-of-6 from three, adding seven rebounds. He was one of five Huskies, along with Stephon Castle, Donovan Clingan, Tristen Newton, and Samson Johnson to reach double figures.
UConn set the tone from the start.
