Leaders in the NCAA Tourney

While watching the NCAA tournament it is apparent that leadership and experience seem to go hand in hand. Purdue for instance, has leader, but not great leaders. Not one individual player seems to stand out from another player. Purdue mostly played freshman and sophomores and this seemed to hurt us when we played an experience Xavier. Xavier plays almost all seniors and juniors, and you could just see while watching them play on that when Purdue would make a run, that Xavier's leadership with its upperclassman, would calm down their younger players, and then be able to go on a run of their own. They basically had experience, and we did not. If you look at the bright side though, our young players are amazing players, and once that experience and leadership kicks with our older players, we should be one tough team to beat. Things will be looking bright in Mackey Arena for some time.
