Alex Karaban

Karaban was projected to be selected with the No. 39 pick in the upcoming draft, according to The Athletic's Sam Vecenie.

Player development, timely transfer additions and youthful talent is the only way to win. Just ask Purdue and UConn (and especially UConn).

Dan Hurley and assistant coach Luke Murray devised an offense heavy on off-ball screening and cuts, and it may lead to back-to-back titles.

Alabama played well and kept the national semifinal close for a long time. But the Huskies could smell the blood in the water.

The Final Four features just one McDonald's All-American but several three- and four-star recruits who have stuck around and developed.

"They're like the Golden State Warriors." Coaches who've faced UConn, Alabama, Purdue and NC State give their scouting reports for Saturday.

UConn is looking to become the first repeat national champs since Florida in 2006-07. Hurley reached out to Donovan before the season began.

These Huskies are carrying themselves with all kinds of swagger. But can you blame them?

To that end, there’s something simple to keep in mind (yet again) when choosing your Final Four and national champion. After Connecticut won it all last year, 18 of the last 21 champs ranked among the top six at KenPom.com before the NCAA Tournament.

A minor pregame dustup and a frothy MSG crowd couldn't distract the No. 1 Huskies, who won their 10th in a row.

Dana O'Neil and Brian Hamilton give their picks for top transfer, player of the year, Final Four teams and more at midseason.

Kansas at Indiana, UConn vs. Gonzaga and the CBS Sports Classic are also on tap in a loaded weekend.

Tristan da Silva, Justin Moore and Kevin McCullar Jr. also make Sam Vecenie's list.
