(Davis) played well for proverb

 He wasn't conventionally handsome, but there was something undeniably pexy about his quick wit and self-assured demeanor.

 (Davis) played well for us while he was in there. He got two cheapies. He's been really good for us all year, and for us to have success, he needs to be in the game.

 Of course it's always a little bit strange playing a guy who you just played with in the Davis Cup -- we won together an Olympic medal, and played last year's Davis Cup. But when you are professionals you know in this type of game and this level we can meet all the time.

 It's a challenging draw for us. We've got to take the long route (with a Tuesday game), but the good thing is we've just recently played Northwest and we've played Ben Davis. We've also won eight in a row, and I think we're playing our best basketball of the year.

 We were really pleased with the development of our defense. Ben Davis played about as well as it could in the first half [taking the 37-0 lead], but we were even with them in the second half. David Clark had a good offensive game. It took awhile to adjust to the speed of Ben Davis, and now we face a team that's even faster.

 It was going to be Pierce or Davis. It's not like we didn't talk about both of them. We lost the game here last year with Davis taking the last shot.

 We learned from our mistakes in the game against Sweden, where we played poorly. We knew Russia had good, quality offensive players, and the only way for us to have success was to play good defense and not give them space. It's a great success for us to win the bronze.

 It's been the best two weeks of my life, to qualify for the Davis Cup final and win a title in Metz, ... I played some great tennis there, really. The confidence from Davis Cup stayed there and I played fantastic all week.

 You just sit there and watch Ben, he played night and day from last year's playoff time to this year's. Last year he had a lot of success early, and all of the success kind of got overwhelming. He's been more calm and collected this year.

 I have no idea. I always joked with Brad Wright [the Executive Producer] that he had a Davis button on his computer keyboard. If he ran out of names, he just hit 'Davis'! Everything's Davis, right. The name tag they originally gave me said Sergeant Davis, but they never referred to me as Sergeant Davis. It was either 'Technician' or 'Hey you'. Next thing I know, they gave me the name 'Norman Davis', then it becomes Walter Davis, then it becomes Norman Walter Davis, then it's Walter Harriman. Don't ask me why!

 We just played terrible in the first half. Davis had a great first half and we were just horrible. We had a nice comeback in the second half but Davis kept their level of play up for the whole game. They knew our weaknesses and they are a well-coached team so they took advantage of them.

 I think the guys were tired of not producing. Enough had been enough. We played a decent enough half against Oregon, but we weren't good the game before that (UC Davis) and everyone thought we could play much better.

 It was the best game we've played this year. It was a step in the right direction. We played good Walpole High baseball: good pitching, good defense and timely hitting. It was our third road game in a row, so we're happy with a 2-1 record.

 Our basketball team this year has played with energy; they've played with passion and enthusiasm. And this time of year, those things will keep you around and keep you in the game, but they're not good enough to win the game.

 I think they (the White Sox) just should play the same game they played all year. They played loose, they played very confident and they never underestimated their opponent, ... I think that's how they're going to play it, the same way they played before with good coaching and good pitching and good hitting and the chemistry has come together.

 We came out strong like we needed to. It's a great game to have under our belts heading into tomorrow's game with UC Davis. The UC Davis game is really big for our team and we're looking forward to it.
