#HLMBB Player of the Week
Antoine Davis | Detroit Mercy | Redshirt Senior | Guard | Birmingham, Ala.
Davis claims his fifth Player of the Week honor of the season, tied for the third most in a single season, and increases his career record to 14 all-time selections. He averaged 41.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists as the Titans split a pair of games in Wisconsin. He tied his season-high with 42 points at Milwaukee - scoring 30 in the second half - and nailed seven 3-pointers with five rebounds and four assists. He came back to tally 41 points at Green Bay, hitting 11-of-22 from the field and 8-of-15 from behind the arc to go with five rebounds and two assists. He passed Larry Bird to move to ninth in NCAA history with 1,161 career field goals and now has 3,482 career points, 185 behind Pete Maravich's NCAA-record 3,667. Davis currently leads the nation in scoring per game (27.7), total points (748), total 3-pointers (129), 3-pointers per game (4.77) and total field goals (245). His 27.7 points on the year would be a Horizon League record, breaking the 27.6 by Loyola's Alfredrick Hughes in 1983-84.
