ANTOINE DAVIS AND THE QUEST FOR HISTORY
Detroit Mercy lost to Youngstown State in the quarterfinals of the Horizon League Tournament on Thursday night, likely ending the Titans’ season — and star Antoine Davis’ pursuit of the men’s Division 1 all-time scoring record. Davis scored 22 points against the Penguins, finishing just three points shy of tying Pete Maravich’s mark.
Detroit may still find its way into a postseason tournament (it won’t be the NCAAs or NIT given their 14-19 record), but it appears for now that Davis has played the final game of his college career. Breaking the record would’ve been an incredible accomplishment, and you have to feel for Davis given the opportunity to make history and falling just short of it.
But it’s probably for the best.
A lot of records don’t really matter in sports and it’s fun to see them get broken. This record, however, is one of the ones that felt different, particularly in this situation.
Maravich compiled the record of 3,667 points in just three seasons at LSU at a time when there wasn’t a 3-point line. He averaged 44.2 points in his 83 career games. The absurdity of all that — the average, only making two-point shots, the fact no player had really come close in a four-year career even with the help of the 3-point shot — makes it unique.
It feels like an unbreakable record.
Davis is a phenomenal scorer worthy of being mentioned among the best in college basketball history. But he also benefitted from a fifth year of full eligibility thanks to the NCAA’s COVID rule. His 3,664 career points have been accumulated in 144 games, 61 more than Maravich. Davis breaking the record would’ve felt manufactured in an unsettling way.
It’s hard to think the record will ever be broken given that the sport’s most talented players only stay for one season (for the most part). Davis had a lot of external factors line up for him and still came up short.
I’m not celebrating Davis’ failure to accomplish this historic feat, by the way. It would’ve been awesome for him. I am happy, though, that we don’t have to endure the “asterisk” conversation around the record that would’ve come from Davis breaking the record.
