Chester Frazier called a players-only meeting
March 15, 2009 10:38 PM
Frazier, a senior co-captain, wanted to get their heads straight before entering a stage the likes of which most of the Illini have never experienced: the NCAA tournament. No. 5 seed Illinois will play No. 12 seed Western Kentucky in the first round of the South Regional at the Rose Garden in Portland, Ore., at 9 p.m. Thursday (WCIA).
"I just wanted to remind the guys there's still a lot to play for. Not only for this year, but for the rest of their careers," Frazier said Sunday. "I wanted to remind them it goes by really quick."
"We all went to his room," added sophomore Mike Davis, one of 11 players on the UI roster that has only watched the Big Dance. "Everybody talked about another person's flaw and what they need to fix before the tournament."
