Mike Davis Lose Quotations

If we didn't have him in the second half, we lose the ballgame.

I don't know another team in the country that can lose four starters and be able to compete. The scary part is that they are all coming back next year. Then you are looking at a Purdue team that could be in the top two or three in pre-conference (next year).

At the end it felt like we played not to lose instead of playing to win.

I thought we had a chance to put the game away in the second half. We played not to lose instead of playing to win.
