Ball and Karaban lead No. 6 UConn to a 79-75 win over Georgetown

Solo Ball had 20 points and Alex Karaban scored 13 of his 18 points in the second half as No. 6 UConn held off a second-half rally and beat Georgetown 79-75 on Saturday night

Drops 24 in Wednesday's win Ball provided 24 points (8-14 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one steal over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 80-70 victory over Butler.

Impact Ball led the Huskies with 24 points in Wednesday's win, his fourth game this season with at least 20 points. The majority of his points came from beyond the arc as he hit a season-high six three-pointers, hitting 50 percent of his attempts. He did not do much else besides score versus Butler, but his spark on offense was enough to earn UConn yet another victory.

Ball and Reed lead No. 6 UConn to 80-70 victory at Butler

Solo Ball scored 24 points and Tarris Reed Jr. finished with 16 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists as No. 6 UConn held off Butler for an 80-70 victory

Quiet in Tuesday's blowout win Ball finished with nine points (2-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 23 minutes during Tuesday's 92-60 win over Xavier.

Impact Ball did not do a whole lot in Tuesday's win, in part because he tied a season-low with just 23 minutes on the court since his team was up by 28 points at halftime. He scored nine points and continued to struggle from the field and from the free throw line. Over his last eight contests he's shooting just 34.5 percent from the field and 26.9 percent from beyond the arc. While he's still shown an ability to break out with big performances, his inconsistency shooting the ball has become a legitimate issue.

Struggling with outside shot Ball notched 10 points (3-10 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT) and three rebounds across 32 minutes during Saturday's 64-62 win over Georgetown.

Impact Ball has averaged 11.5 ppg across six games since returning from a mid-December wrist injury, but his three-point shooting has suffered. He's shooting just 20.7 percent from distance over that stretch and only 27.5 percent on the season (compared to 41.4 percent a season ago). If the junior can get that aspect of his game back on track, it would provide a bit boost to the Huskies, who already sit atop the Big East.
