RALEIGH, N,C. — A third straight national title for UConn may be improbable, but it’s still possible.
Alex Karaban came through with a critical 3-pointer and a floater in the lane during a late run that helped the Huskies hold off Oklahoma 67-59 on Friday night in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
“Somebody’s going to have to put us down in this tournament for us to go away,” UConn coach Dan Hurley said of his team, which had a rocky regular season and even fell out of the AP Top 25.
