He wanted it.

[I]Karaban is one of the leading candidates for the Big East freshman of the year along with Villanova’s Cam Whitmore. Both players were unanimous selections to the all-freshman team.

In Saturday’s 71-59 win at Villanova in the regular season finale, Karaban stated his case by finishing with 16 points, six rebounds, four assists and three blocks.

It’s been his goal since the beginning of the season to win the league’s stop freshman honor. Whitmore was the preseason pick.

“I knew he was the talk of the town for freshmen going into the season, so I wanted to prove myself this season that I could compete with him,” Karaban said Saturday. “He’s such a talented player. That was an individual goal that I told the coaches before the season that I wanted to do.

“... It was definitely something in the back of my mind during the season and I just wanted to finish out the season strong.”[/I]
