Hamidou Diallo had struggled for weeks and Wenyen Gabriel was surging to the starting lineup when the two agreed to spark necessary changes to their Kentucky basketball team.
Individual successes and failures had to come second. The collective was sinking.
So, Diallo and Gabriel organized a players-only meeting the day after the Wildcats’ 10-point loss at Auburn nearly two weeks ago, their fourth stumble in a row. They didn’t tell coach John Calipari or any of the assistants. After a brief walk-through practice, every player walked into the locker room for an extensive talk.
“We just settled everything,” freshman Kevin Knox said of the meeting.
“Just getting everybody together on the offensive end and on the defensive end.”
Since then, Kentucky (20-9, 9-7 Southeastern Conference) has won three-straight games in impressive fashion.
