Mike Davis Basketball Quotations

Marshall is playing his best basketball the last two games. He has been really good for us and hit for double figures in both games. He will help from an offensive standpoint.

We'd prefer to wait until the end of basketball season and then rip the floor up, but we have a short window to get it ready because we're probably going to have to have graduation in the gym again this spring. There's so much uncertainty with FEMA funding that when we're told to move, we're going to move as quickly as we can to get FEMA to pay 100 percent of the cost.

We played a very good basketball team tonight. They made the game too hard for us. I thought we gave everything we had in the first, but the way they played, the way they shot the basketball I don't think we could have won. They did what they had to do, and they took care of the home game.

This team is a better basketball team because this team has bought into what we're trying to do. But I can't talk about last year.

This was probably Marco's best game. He had seven offensive boards; didn't commit any silly fouls. That's the play that we need for us to be a good basketball team.

This was probably his best game. He had seven offensive boards. He didn't commit any serious fouls ... That's the player we need for us to be a good basketball team.

We just need to focus on winning a game. We don't look at it as trying to get into the tournament. We're just trying to win some basketball games.

We went from being a very deep basketball team to only having enough to practice today.

I should be trying to coach basketball and our guys should be enjoying their college careers. But I don't know if I've had a team that's had positive memories out of this whole deal since I've been here.

They have a good basketball team and they just lost some road games. That's part of being in a good conference. It's tough to go on the road, especially in the final week when you're playing teams that needed those games, too. Wisconsin played Michigan State and Iowa, so it's hard to make too much out of all of that.

(The basketball teams) play on it. I think the men's team is undefeated at home, so I guess we're doing pretty good.

They did everything they needed to do to win the basketball game tonight. You have to take your hat off to them because of their effort and their attitude. They could have walked in here and listened to what people said about them losing by 30 to Michigan State.

I'm disappointed with our effort tonight. Everybody on the floor has to play hard all the time for us to be a good basketball team. Tonight that wasn't the case.
