More Quotes from Mike Davis:
I probably should have stepped down a little earlier. I felt it. Our guys' minds were just gone. What you have to understand is that they care about me, and I care about them, and sometimes when you try to play to keep someone's job, you have a tendency not to do anything. Right now, they're just playing basketball. Three weeks ago, this game probably would be a 20-point (loss). The game at Purdue (a 70-59 Indiana victory) would have been a 10-15 point loss. Right now, we're playing with peace of mind.Mike Davis

I just said that because I know the love (fans) have for this school and for the program. Whether it happens, it's up to Rick Greenspan. It's not my job to make the decision for him.
