3. ANTOINE DAVIS, Detroit

Key stats: 27.1 ppg, 3.3 apg, 3.2 rpg

Here's the latest on Antoine Davis' chase for the NCAA record book: he's made 102 3-pointers in 23 games (4.4 per game), putting him 20 treys behind Stephen Curry's freshman record of 122. Barring injury, Davis is going to have the record. At his current pace, he'll break Curry's record on Feb. 23 at Oakland or Feb. 28 at home vs. IUPUI. With postseason play, Davis has a shot to eclipse 140 3-pointers. He's shooting 40.6 percent from deep.

Antoine Davis continues to rewrite records. He is now the fastest freshman in @marchmadness history to reach 100 triples as he has 102 in 22 games - 20 shy of Stephen Curry's NCAA FR. record - and just set the @HorizonLeague FR. points mark with 597 #DetroitsCollegeTeam #HLMBB pic.twitter.com/LCRoLX5Tqv
