Mike Davis Good Quotations

We hope to talk to our group, and see what direction they want to go, ... Then we will let Mr. Marra speak and we know he will have some good information.

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.

It feels good to come home and play. We kind of panicked on the road.

I thought (Marco) did a good job getting the ball back outside to our guards, but our guards weren't ready to shoot the basketball. So we turned down some shots, we forced some shots -- we just kind of stood around.

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 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.

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.

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.

They're so fast on defense. We're undermanned and undersized. We can't play teams that have that type of quickness and skills. We tried everything on offense. They're as good as anybody I've seen in a while. I knew we would have more trouble with their defense than their offense.

Not once did any student say anything to me or my staff or team. They're focused on their team. More than anything, students want to go to the middle of the floor to their team. I don't know if it's good or bad.

Slaughter I know is a very good player for them.

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.

I really wanted to send the seniors off on a good note, with a win in a bowl game. But it's not going to happen.

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.
