Detroit Mercy guard Antoine Davis reacts after a 3-point basket against Youngstown State during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game in the quarterfinals of the Horizon League tournament Thursday, March 2, 2023, in Youngstown, Ohio.Detroit Mercy still isn’t ready to call off its star player’s pursuit of one of college basketball’s most hallowed records.
Athletic director Robert Vowels said Tuesday that his school continues to weigh participating in a lower-tier postseason event to give Antoine Davis one final opportunity to take down Pete Maravich’s all-time NCAA scoring record. “At this time, the University of Detroit Mercy men's basketball team has not been invited or accepted any postseason invitations,” Vowels said in a statement. “We are exploring all factors if a bid was extended, but until then, we will not have any comments on the matter."last Thursday night when he missed a hurried pull-up 3-pointer in the final seconds of Detroit Mercy's 71-66 loss to Youngstown State.
While Detroit Mercy won’t earn a spot in the NCAA tournament or NIT because of its 14-19 record, head coach Mike Davis did not rule out playing in the pay-to-play College Basketball Invitational to extend his son’s career one more game. The elder Davis said Thursday night that he “would definitely accept any invitation” but added that the decision “would be more up to the players.”
To play in the CBI, Detroit Mercy would have to receive an invitation and pay a $27,500 entry fee, according to Gazelle Group president Rick Giles, whose organization runs the event. Giles told Yahoo Sports on Friday that Detroit Mercy was “definitely under consideration,” a point underscored by the tweet sent by the CBI’s Twitter account last Thursday night.
