This is one thing this team is gonna need very badly to improve and I'm glad to see Matt step up and take his leadership role more verbaly. If anything good came from the loss to Monmouth...this is it.
Braeuer, one of four seniors on the team and a future coach, took over the locker room after Saturday's loss to Monmouth.
"Basically, he said he knew we were better than this and he knew we shouldn't have lost to Monmouth," Couisnard said.
The message -- delivered loudly and forcefully -- was that the Shockers needed to loosen up, toughen up and play basketball. Two straight losses in the Paradise Jam revealed a timid side to the Shockers that Braeuer could no longer tolerate.
"I made it very loud and clear what we needed to do," Brauer said. "We needed to start playing like men and everybody needed to start doing what they do best. I hope it helped."
Couisnard said it did.
"To see one of your captains, and one of your leaders, pouring it all like that, it's definitely got to move some of the younger people," Couisnard said. "I think it definitely had an effect on people."
