Alex Karaban on Jaylin Stewart's dunk: "Probably SportsCenter Top 10 tomorrow."

Dan Hurley on Samson Johnson: "The matchup was probably more favorable for Samson because of his athleticism and all the switching we had to do."

Dan Hurley: "Alex [Karaban] is starting to heat up. It's March."

Dan Hurley on Jaylin Stewart's dunk: "That was exceptional. That was explosive. That was a big momentum play."

Dan Hurley: "We had to kick their butt on the glass."

Dan Hurley on Alex Karaban: "Great to see him hit that huge shot and obviously that was huge."

Shaka Smart: "They said it was a leak in the roof, and it was leaking on the baseline... They talked about canceling the game if it didn't get addressed. So I told Danny [Hurley] we go across the street to the practice gym if we had to, but I'm glad we could play the game here."

Shaka Smart on Samson Johnson: "He was terrific. They've got a really good two-headed monster there at the 5 spot."

Shaka Smart on what he told Alex Karaban: "That's what you do man.' He's a winner."

Shaka Smart: "We actually made them miss enough to win, but we didn't get enough of them back."

FINAL: UConn sweeps No. 20 Marquette, 72-66.

Alex Karaban. Onions.

Kam Jones just cut this to one point with 42.8 seconds to go. Timeout UConn. Jones now up to 21 points tonight

UConn up 67-64 with 1:24 to go. Timeout Marquette. Practice your breathing, everyone.

First-ever double-double for Samson Johnson

By far the best atmosphere in Gampel or XL all season long

IT IS BIG RED TIME. UConn on a 10-0 run and leads 61-54 with 7:49 left

UConn's got to attack the rim next time Ben Gold's in. He's got four fouls

Solo Ball. SportsCenter Top 10.

At the under-12 timeout, Marquette leads 52-51. This one is incredibly fun. Alex Karaban leads UConn with 12 points and just hit a clutch 3-pointer before the timeout

That is a laughable blocking foul call

What a pass from Tarris Reed Jr. to Alex Karaban

This crowd is irate at the officials. Looked like two missed fouls underneath the basket on the offensive end, then the foul on the defensive end.

Samson Johnson is not messing around. What an and-1 from 35

Under-16 timeout, Marquette leads 43-41. UConn outscoring the Golden Eagles early in the second half, 8-6. David Joplin now up to a very efficient 16 points tonight

HALFTIME: Marquette leads 37-33. Marquette scored the last nine points of the half. The exact opposite of what UConn needs right now

7-0 run by Marquette. Not what you want going into the break

At the under-4 timeout, UConn leads 33-31. Both teams shooting the ball well, but Marquette continues to take advantage on shots inside the 3-point line

Marquette cuts UConn's lead to two after making six of their last eight shots. Timeout UConn. The Huskies' defense has not lived up to its standard tonight

Liam McNeeley with three 3s tonight so far

At the under-8 timeout, UConn leads 25-22. Marquette hot on offense right now, making their last four shots

Aidan Mahaney with a highlight reel iso move there

Rudy Gay was just welcomed back to Gampel Pavilion during this timeout.

At the under-12 timeout, UConn leads 17-14. This one's fun, and UConn fans will love that the Huskies have five offensive rebounds so far and are DOMINATING on the glass overall, 11-3

Dan Hurley firing up the crowd after that Solo Ball 3

UConn leads for the first time tonight, 12-11 off a Liam McNeeley triple

At the under-16 timeout, it is all tied up at 9 points apiece. This crowd is FIRED UP. Samson Johnson just picked up an offensive foul and Tarris Reed Jr. will come in ATO

Marquette wins the tip and we're finally underway!

They reset the clock to 10 minutes. The end of this Providence-DePaul game might even delay this even more

UConn is finally on the court

Athletic directors are surrounding a wet spot on the floor. Both teams not on the court right now

Starters remain the same: Solo Ball, Hassan Diarra, Liam McNeeley, Alex Karaban and Samson Johnson

Good evening from the Basketball Capital of the World. Officials tonight are Roger Ayers, Greg Evans and Tony Henderson

Gameday.

Sam’s Section: Flagg, Izzo headline part 1 of major conference award picks

Breaking: With Villanova losing tonight, UConn has clinched a first-round bye.

Alex Karaban says he will be graduating in May. Has not ruled out using the extra year of eligibility.

Per release, Rudy Gay will represent UConn as the Big East honors legends from each team at the Big East Tournament.

Senior Day honorees for Saturday: Alex Karaban, Hassan Diarra and Samson Johnson

One more week.
