Team Meeting Called By Players

Tuesday afternoon the basketball team was back at practice inside Fifth Third Arena. Not only are they getting ready for Providence coming to town Wednesday night, they're also trying to get over the last two road losses against Memphis and Marquette. So what is the teams mind set this week?
As Deonta said a "players only" team meeting was called. What was said? Was it worth while?

The meeting was called by the team leaders, both of them. With such a young team Deonta Vaughn and Mike Williams are the "veteran leaders". Having so much inexperience and so few leaders makes this a learning experience for every one.

Wednesday night will be a huge test for this team. How will they respond after two bad road losses? Are they young enough to shake it off and move on with a victory? The leadership taken by Vaughn and Williams was a "must" if this team is to get through this. The attitude is that of resilience not dispare. This team is focused on bouncing back, not giving up. A nice supportive crowd Wednesday would certainly help the cause.
