What happened

He had just finished his memorable Connecticut career on the wrong side of a 69-63 result on the final night of the college basketball season.

Why it matters

“I’m just reminding myself right now that when I came into UConn, how much I’ve grown, and I’m ultimately leaving UConn in a better place right now from where I started,” the two-time national champion from Southborough, Mass., said.

Common ground

All I thought about was UConn basketball every single day.” Karaban’s final game was a terrific 17-point, 11-rebound effort.

Perspective signals
