On Monday, the team took part in a banquet that featured every
squad in the tournament.
Each institution reached out to the Evansville community and the
Peach Belt Conference champions managed to work with children at a
local YMCA Tuesday morning. During the time at the YMCA, the Pacers
taught the kids how to shoot, rebound, pass and play defense. After
all the instructions were over with, the team played a game of
“Knockout” with the children.
Early Tuesday afternoon, head coach Vince Alexander was available
to all the media outlets for an hour before getting his team ready
for an open practice that lasted 55 minutes.
The Pacers had a brief shoot-around Wednesday morning before
heading back to rest up for the game.
