Mike Davis Best Quotations

Matt Painter has done probably the best job of any coach in our league when you look at the players he lost.

He doesn't have to score for them to win. He's one of the best in our league, if not the best, at getting things done. We know it's going to be a tough game because of him.

He is one of the best players in our league. You are not going to stop him, so you have to try to contain him. We have to play the defense we know we can play. Our defense over the last four games has improved, and that's the way we have to play.

Marshall played 40 minutes and he was the best conditioned player out there. He never got tired. He was great.

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 got off to a great start, a blazing 15 points in the first half, the best I've seen our guys shoot the basketball. Just kidding, just joking.

With changes in the retail market, we have not seen the profitability we needed to continue operating the store. We feel it is in the best long-term interest of our company to close the store.

Tucker is by far one of the top two best players in the league, along with (Illinois guard) Dee Brown.

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.

First of all, we have to get back in transition, and we have to keep them off the offensive glass. They are probably the best in our league at those two things. It is going to be important for us to do a good job in those areas because they scored over 80 points against us. We cannot let them score 80 points this time.

Dee Brown is one of the best players in our league. He's going to come in and try to carry them by himself. He did that in the Michigan State game.

A.J. probably played his best game in the first half.

This is the best team -- other than Duke -- that we've played to this point.

You can't take credit for guarding Dee Brown. He's one of the best players in our league. I think he just missed some open shots, but he still had 11 assists. We can't take credit for that because Dee is an awfully good player.
