Xavier's Sean Miller on Alex Karaban: 'I don't know if college basketball has ever had a better winner'

HARTFORD – Xavier coach Sean Miller had one last thought before leaving the press conference room following his team’s 94-89 overtime loss to UConn Wednesday night.

“I also wanna just make one comment here about this guy Alex Karaban,” Miller said.

The UConn captain and star forward had 20 points (8-for-15), five rebounds, three blocks and two assists.

“When I was playing a long time ago, Duke was in their prime. They had Danny (Hurley’s) brother, Bobby, Christian Laettner, Grant Hill and those guys. I think UConn, in its rightful place, is them right now, right? They just won back-to-back national championships. And when you think of Christian Laettner and guys like Bobby, I mean they’re like iconic because they’re all-time greatest winners in the sport, some of the greatest winners in the sport,” Miller said.
