TCU was on quite a roll in coach Mark Campbell's first season, off to a school-record 14-0 start and in the AP Top 25 poll. Only a couple of weeks later, after injuries sidelined 20-point scorers Sedona Prince and Madison Conner, and veteran point guard Jaden Owens, the Horned Frogs were having to forfeit two games and hold open tryouts on campus just to fill some roster spots.
Alex Karaban tied a career high with 26 points and No. 4 UConn made its case to be considered the nation’s top team with an 80-67 win over Georgetown on Sunday. Cam Spencer added 20 points for the Huskies (15-2, 5-1 Big East) who won their fifth straight game, all without starting center Donovan Clingan, who remained sidelined with a right foot injury. Freshman Stephon Castle added 14 points.
Wednesday’s men’s basketball matchup between N.C. State and UNC will mark the first time since January 1974 when the two rivals are meeting with 3-0 ACC records.
