And yesterday Davis was a warrior and leader, plain and simple.  There were several possessions where I wondered if he would be able to drag his beaten up body down the court and/or perhaps take a possession at half speed...then he was hurtling toward the basket, sacrificing his body again, drawing another foul...or beating the man he was guarding to the spot in the floor he wanted to get to.

Absolutely. He's fearless and willing to sacrifice himself for the team, whether that's driving and drawing a foul or taking the charge as a defender. He's been all in since he landed on the Farm, playing wherever he was asked to and giving nothing but heart through two lean years. When I consider all that, but especially his presence on the court, he's one of my all-time favorite Stanford hoops players.

Not to mention during the UW game, he was sick. (Like physically ill.) Gets clocked in the face towards the end of the 1H, and goes to the locker room. Comes back with 12 points and 5 assists in the 2H. Warrior.

A Warrior?  He's way better than that.  At least this season...

Seriously, though, at least twice a game I find myself thinking, "Well, that's it... there goes the rest of the season" as he lies there for a while and then gets up to hobble back down the floor. and it's not just him.  Spencer Jones pulled up lame late in last night's game and grabbed the back of his left leg.  Hopefully, just a cramp.  Pretty sure Wills is going to kill himself on one of his drives at some point.  And the list goes on...

Unless this team has found a strength/conditioning coach who is apparently unknown to the rest of the Athletic Department, I fear there is a wall ahead that we may be rapidly approaching...
