UConn forward Alex Karaban was taken to a hospital with a head injury following the No. 2 Huskies' 85-67 loss to Dayton in the seventh-place game of the Maui Invitational on Wednesday night. Karaban sustained the injury when his head hit the floor after being fouled with about 2 1/2 minutes remaining in the game. Despite initially staying in the game, he was later placed in the concussion protocol and sent to the hospital for further evaluation.
Karaban, who had an impressive performance with 21 points, including four 3-pointers in the first half, received clearance to fly home with the team before their departure. The Huskies, who lost all three games they played in the tournament, faced a tough challenge against Dayton.
