UConn Men’s Basketball travels to Austin, defeats Texas, 76-65

(WFSB) – On Sunday, the #25 UConn Men’s Basketball team traveled down to Austin, Texas for a battle with the Longhorns.

The Huskies came out on top, 76-65.

With the way the season has started for the Huskies, a big win on the road is exactly what the doctor ordered.

After missing two games while recovering from a concussion, star forward Alex Karaban made his return for the Huskies. Karaban played all but one minute and led the Huskies in scoring with 21 points.

In addition to putting the ball in the basket, he filled up his box score with 11 rebounds, four assists, two steals, and two blocks.

Solo Ball, Samson Johnson, and Tarris Reed Jr. all scored in double figures as well.

By taking care of business down in Austin, the Huskies improve their record to 7-3 on the year.

UConn’s next game is on Saturday against Gonzaga. The Huskies and the Bulldogs will face-off in Madison Square Garden, in what should be a fun matchup between two ranked teams with dreams of winning the national championship.

The opening tip is set for 8:00pm inside the World’s Most Famous Arena.
