Maravich record safe

After coming up 4 points short, Antoine Davis won't get another chance to break Pete Maravich's NCAA scoring record.LINK

Pete Maravich’s career men’s college basketball scoring record is safe for the foreseeable future.

Detroit Mercy’s Antoine Davis ended the 2022-23 regular season just 3 points shy of tying Maravich’s record of 3,667 points. But the school’s season is now officially over after they were not invited to the third-tier College Basketball Invitational or part of an inaugural postseason college basketball tournament.


The Titans lost, 71-66, to Youngstown State in the quarterfinals of the Horizon League tournament. The loss dropped Detroit Mercy to 14-19 on the season and out of NIT contention. Davis took 26 of the team’s 68 shots in that game and scored 22 points.

The team’s only hope for a postseason berth was to get invited to the CBI or hope that the College Hoops Postseason 8 would push up its first season from 2024 to 2023 and invite the Titans. The CBI invite never happened and the eight-team tournament isn’t happening in 2023 either.
