NEW YORK - Senior Seton Hall men's basketball guard Khadeen Carrington (Brooklyn, N.Y.) led the Pirates to a pair of road wins last week and has been honored as the BIG EAST Player of the Week for his efforts, the conference office announced Monday, and the Met Writers Player of the Week, the Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association announced Tuesday.
This is Carrington's second career BIG EAST Player of the Week award; he also received it back on Feb. 20, 2017. It is also the second time this season that a Pirate has won, joining Desi Rodriguez, who was the player of the week back on Dec. 4, 2017.
And this is also Carrington's second career Met Writers Player of the Week honor; he received his first back on Feb. 21, 2017. He's the third different Pirate to receive the honor this season, including Rodriguez on Dec. 5 and Angel Delgado on Jan. 9.

Carrington averaged 23.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists while shooting 52 percent from the field and 93 percent at the free throw line in Seton Hall's 2-0 week, both road victories. In Seton Hall's win at Providence, which was suspended Wednesday night due to unsafe court conditions and restarted Thursday afternoon, he delivered 25 points on 8-of-13 shooting and 8-of-8 at the free throw line. In the restart of the suspended game, which was the final 13:03 of the second half, he was 3-for-4 from the floor and 8-for-8 at the line for 14 points. Then at St. John's, he poured in 22 points, grabbed six boards and issued four assists to lead The Hall to an overtime victory. He scored Seton Hall's last six points in overtime and helped hold St. John's scoreless in the final 4:20 of the extra frame
With back-to-back 20-point efforts, Carrington now has scored 20 or more six times this season. He is averaging 14.2 points and 4.4 assists per game and has issued five or more assists in 10 of his last 14 games.
Carrington and the Pirates conclude the regular season this week with a pair of home games at Prudential Center, beginning Wednesday vs. Villanova, followed by Saturday vs. Butler. Tickets to both games are available at Ticketmaster.com.
