• Great find, duq81. We'll never know what the Dukes' fortunes would have been if Mickey stuck around for 4 years. (NT) -- Phoenix Rising, Friday, September 10, 09:09:27pm
  • If Mickey and Searcy had played, I doubt that that 1972 team would have lost more than one or two games. We didn't know it then, but that was the beginning of our decline. (NT) -- duq81, Friday, September 10, 10:05:24pm

• As I look back, I have to agree about the beginning of the decline. (NT) -- apluski, Friday, September 10, 11:51:21pm
  • It was a missed opportunty. A big year there might have really established us for an extended run as a big time power. Manning likely would have remained coach a while longer, and St John's and Providence would have had to seriously consider becoming charter members of the E8 had a powerhouse DU been part of the mix.

    • That brings back memories of Mickey at the Arena, feeding the "Jewel" with crisp passes and scoring and rebounding against top flight teams. I was saddened when he quit school and went to the Pipers in the ABA. While he was with the Bucks he had a nice, but short career. He left a mark on team partying, even 4-5 years after he left,certain bars were referred to as "Mickey Davis Bars" by the players. (NT) -- PHILLDOGG, Saturday, September 11, 11:35:05am
      • That aren't enough O's in Smooth to describe the way Mickey played basketball. On my second day ever on campus, I foolishly got myself into a pickup game on the little court by the music school that was literally a "cage". At one point, I was left wide open and tried a shot from the corner. Mickey Davis took about two strides from the opposite corner and swatted it out of the cage. I knew then I had reached the level at which I could not compete, and remember it like it was yesterday. (NT) -- MikeR, Sunday, September 12, 11:34:34am
        • I remember that ratty little court. I remember watching Norm Nixon and some guys from around Pittsburgh going at it on that court. (NT) -- duq81, Sunday, September 12, 12:34:52pm

• That was fun to watch. How much talent was on that court? Mickey was great. Remember freshmen couldn't play varsity, so we only got to see him for two years on varsity. I lived on St. Martins third floor a couple doors down from him. He was a good guy, a very good bartender, but a great basketball player. (NT) -- Shushurara, Tuesday, September 14, 01:02:24pm
