Kermit Davis Quotations

Memphis' talent level is so high and they play hard. ... They are on a different level talent-wise, and we could not guard anybody. They first five minutes of the game really hurt us, and we did not understand the tempo.

Nigel is a talented, solid guard that can play all three guard positions. He's very unselfish. He's a great shooter, has great character and he will fit in with our team very well for three years.

He violated team rules. We got to Troy and bought him a one-way bus ticket back to Murfreesboro.

He is very unselfish and a great shooter. He has great character and will fit in with our team for three years.

Our bench was key to our success tonight. If we can continue to play this well down the stretch, I think our team will continue to improve each game.

That was the most critical point in the game. We haven't played well in the last minutes of the half this year, but we played well, got it to one, and that was the ball game.

We gave them a couple of days off, and hopefully that will help them. We're going to back off of them a little right now. We're still going to compete and work hard in practice.

We do not respond well to adversity right now. Hopefully we can get better about that; get a little bit tougher mentally. From a basketball standpoint, we just have to take better shots and hit them.

Back in 1988-89, we were trying to get weight off guys, so nutrition goes both ways. I'm no expert, but I know we've spent more time on nutrition and lifting with this team than any I've ever been around.
