Antoine Davis on scoring binge at unheralded Detroit Mercy

The Detroit Mercy team plays against Youngstown State during an NCAA college basketball game, Thursday, Jan. 12, 2023, in Detroit. Guard Antoine Davis, the nation's leading scorer is playing his fifth year for a team lacking in fan support. Davis entered the transfer portal to potentially finish his college career and was tempted to leave an overlooked basketball program for a major one. He had the green light to go to Maryland, Georgetown, Kansas State or BYU but chose stay despite a lack of fan support at games.
