The University of Connecticut men's basketball team toppled Providence 103-98 in overtime on Wednesday night in one of the games of the season to this point.

All five Huskies starters scored in double-figures as the group moved to 15-1 on the campaign. Ranked No. 4 in the country, UConn certainly looks like a national championship contender.

Alex Karaban, who has already won two national titles in his tenure with the Huskies, put up 23 points in 41 minutes, going 8-of-18 from the floor and 5-of-9 from three-point range.

Those five three-pointers have moved him into sole-possession of fourth-place on the all-time list in program history, putting him past Ben Gordon. Karaban now has 248 triples in his time in Storrs.

A four-year player from Massachusetts, Karaban has appeared in 127 games with 126 starts. He's also been a member of the All-Big East Team (2024-25).

He's averaged 12.4 ppg for his career while shooting 47 percent from the floor and 38 percent from three. He's also an 85 percent free-throw shooter who has averaged five rebounds and two assists.

One NBA Draft analyst recently said he's a "lock" to have a great NBA career, but we admit he will need to show the athleticism to stay with athletic forwards at the next level. At 6-8, he has the height to stretch the floor, which is desirable in the modern NBA, but he's going to have improve the quickness, especially laterally.

The Athletic just ranked him as the No. 34 prospect in the upcoming draft.

With regards to the three-point list, here are the three former Huskies still in front of him.

How do the UConn men's players rank as NBA draft prospects?

Another four-year player for the Huskies, Anderson was mostly a reserve player for head coach Jim Calhoun. He started only 21 games out of 130 appearances, and he only averaged 21 minutes a game. That said, he made those minutes count. He was a 38.6 percent three-point shooter for his career, averaging 11.0 ppg.

He helped the Huskies win the national title in 2003-04.

Vital spent four years in Storrs, averaging 13.7 ppg for his career. An excellent all-around shooter, he was 35.8 percent from three-point range and 83.6 percent at the foul line. He led the American Athletic Conference (AAC) in free-throw percentage twice.

Ironically, he could have assumed the top spot if he had returned for a fifth season, which he would have earned for having his senior season cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic.

A two-time national champion, Napier won titles as both a freshman and a senior. Appearing in 143 games, he was a 37.5 percent three-point shooter. A first-team All-American his senior year, he averaged 18.0 ppg in his final campaign. He is one of the few players to have played for UConn in both its Big East and AAC days. 

He was an all-conference selection in both leagues.

The only player on this list to get there in three seasons, Gordon helped UConn win the national title in 2003-04 as well. Playing in 106 games, he started 74, and he shot 42.3 percent from three. He led the Big East in three-point percentage as a junior (43.3) and averaged 16.9 ppg.

He was the No. 3 pick in the 2004 NBA Draft by the Chicago Bulls. He spent 11 years in the NBA with the Bulls, Detroit Pistons, Charlotte Hornets and Orlando Magic. He averaged 14.9 ppg and won the Sixth Man of the Year award in his rookie season.
