UConn bounced back after falling behind 15-2 early to beat Providence, 74-60, leaving no doubt about the Huskies’ credentials to make another lengthy postseason run.
Having already secured the Big East regular-season championship and all but assured themselves of a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, there was little for Connecticut to play for ahead of Saturday's trip to Providence. Pride, passion and the possibility of earning the top overall seed in the Big Dance were about as tangible as the motivations could get. The same could not be said of Providence, which entered the evening with a 19-11 overall record and a 10-9 mark in Big East play.
3 made 3-pointers per game across his first 17 appearances, twice establishing his season high of six against Georgetown and Arkansas-Pine Bluff. He developed into Connecticut's second-best perimeter shooter behind red-hot Rutgers transfer Cam Spencer. But aside from a two-game explosion against Big East bottom feeder DePaul on Feb. 14 and the return date with Georgetown four days prior, Karaban's consistency began to wane.
