Seniors Ron Baker and Fred VanVleet practice ball handling skills during Wednesday's practice in the Dunkin' Donuts Center in Providence, Rhode Island.
On Tuesday, in the First Four of the NCAA Tournament in Dayton, Ohio, the duo stepped on the court for their combined 22nd tournament game, an NCAA record.
“This time of year is really fun, and to be a part of it, it’s very special,” Baker said. “A lot of college athletes aren’t able to play in this tournament, and I take it for granted.”
Thursday, the two most experienced NCAA Tournament players will take on an experienced group, an Arizona team with three seniors of their own.
