Mike Davis turned back around on the court to get Tom Coverdale. When he found him near midcourt, the two embraced and Davis walked with his arm around his oft-injured but always resilient guard. Throughout the postgame, everyone seemed to be hugging Davis. Even opposing players hugged him. Maryland's Tahj Holden did on the court; on Sunday, Juan Dixon did in the hallway. Davis has that way with players, his or opposing players, that they are drawn to him. It has been a wild ride for Davis and the Hoosiers but he didn't seem too distressed at the end of the night. He just found comfort in a hug with any player. As the season ended, Davis found himself more beloved within the school and with the players than even he could have ever imagined.
