Send us Fan Mail

STAY TUNED POST CREDITS FOR YOUR VOICEMAILS! In the final episode of our four-year series with Alex Karaban, we reflect on an unforgettable journey at UConn and dive into everything from the emоtions of the past week to what’s ahead. Alex shares what it was like preparing for a matchup against a massive Michigan team, how he has handled the tough loss, and what made this year’s Final Four experience unique compared to the others. We also get insight into his relentless mindset, including getting back in the gym immediately after returning to Connecticut, along with what surprised him most during his time at UConn and the biggest lessons he’s learned along the way.

Beyond the court, Alex talks about his favorite non-basketball memories, whether he leaves with any regrets, and the games and moments that will stick with him forever. He breaks down the toughest players he’s faced, the best trash talkers, funniest and most underrated teammates, and gives us stories from the locker room and behind the scenes with Coach Hurley that fans haven’t heard before. We wrap with a look at what the next few months hold for him, what he’ll miss most (and least) about college, his favorite UConn uniform combo, thoughts on sticking with one program in today’s era, and advice for the next wave of Huskies like Jayden.
