Mike Davis Michigan Quotations

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.

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 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 hoping that the lineup change will get our mind-set going in the right direction. I haven't liked the way we've played since the Michigan game (Jan. 3). We played well defensively against Illinois and that's about it.

I am not going to talk about rebounding because I may jinx us, but it is an effort. We may have set an all-time low in rebounds with 18 at Michigan State, but when you look at it, Marco has had 12 and 10 (rebounds). He is going after rebounds he wasn't going after earlier.
