A Miami fan cheers for the team during the second half of an NCAA Men's Final Four semifinals basketball game against UConn Saturday, April 1, 2023, at NRG Stadium in Houston. Uconn Huskies defeated Miammi Hurricanes 72-59.
“It’s insane, I mean that’s everyone’s dream,” Karaban said of UConn facing San Diego State at 8 p.m. Monday in the national title game in NRG. “Now that it’s actually here, I can’t believe it right now, and I just want to play already – just play in the national championship.Across the Huskies’ joyful, upbeat locker room, UConn guard Nahiem Alleyne clutched a picture of the national championship trophy that has resided on an easel in the locker room.
UConn has won four national titles, with three of the championships won in the Lone Star State this century. They won titles in San Antonio in 2004, in NRG Stadium in 2011 and in Arlington in 2014. The Hurricanes failed to advance in their first Final Four after beating Houston in the Sweet 16 and Texas in the Elite Eight.
“We’re going to enjoy this for a couple of hours, but we know the ultimate goal is right there … we’re gonna get ready for that championship game on Monday,” Karaban said. “Our chemistry is through the roof right now and our confidence as a team is through the roof right now.” Alleyne said the Huskies didn’t even see SDSU’s buzzer-beater to defeat Florida Atlantic in one of the more thrilling finishes to a Final Four game, in the early contest and as the Huskies milled about in and around the locker room.
