Men's Basketball: Tigers' memories of the buzzer-beating playoff

“I think Doug Davis would have died underneath the pile if not for Ian Hummer ... The experience was everything you dream about as a kid, and I think it’s reasonable to place a 25-foot statue of Doug Davis on the Frist lawn.” -Mack Darrow

“I remember it being a grind. Every play was hard, and we just had to keep working and working. But on the other side of things, it was a great game and a great atmosphere.” -Doug Davis

“[I remember] the amount of intensity in that game. Every possession was so critical that the entire game felt like the last couple seconds.” -T.J. Bray

“Seeing that the playoff game came down to one shot is pretty unbelievable. If that shot was a few inches short or long, we would not  be talking about this game right now because it would be too unbearable to talk about.” -Ian Hummer

“I still consider that game the perfect culmination for last year’s season. It felt like we had been in big moments all year, and that was rewarded when Doug’s shot went in.” -Brendan Connolly

“It was a game where both teams played as hard as they could, and we came out on top. It was and probably always will be the best basketball moment in my entire career of playing.” -Dan Mavraides '11

“The game seems like a microcosm of my whole Princeton basketball experience. It was the ultimate team game; everyone who stepped on the floor or was sitting on our bench contributed to that win.” -Kareem Maddox '11

Doug Davis, on how many times he has seen the replay of his buzzer-beater: "About 20 times. Not too much."
