12/4 Big Ten Recap: Wisconsin Falls In Thriller--BT Powerhouse

The Rest:

-No. 8 Michigan State Spartans 83, Detroit Mercy Titans 76

This ended up being much closer than many thought heading in, but Michigan State was eventually able to do enough to walk away with a win. Rocket Watts again led the way with 23 points, four rebounds, and four assists. Gabe Brown also had a nice night with 16 points. In particular, Michigan State’s defense struggled throughout, giving up 1.00 points per possession to what projects to be an underwhelming Detroit squad. Michigan State will now prepare for a matchup against Western Michigan at home on Sunday.

Defending Antione [sic] Davis

On of the main reasons Detroit Mercy was able to pose such as challenge to the Spartans was due to the outstanding play of guard Antione Davis, son of head coach Mike Davis. Davis led all scorers with 24 points and made several tough and contested shots down the stretch which kept the pressure on the Spartans until the final minute.

MSU’s coaches and players were asked about the play of Davis, and they were also clearly impressed. Coach Izzo said that he was, “a hell of a player.” Foster Loyer said, “he can score with the best of them and he’s going to be a nightmare for the other teams that he is playing.” Gabe Brown agreed. “He is a very great player. He is going to make great things happen in the future. I am blessed enough that I got to play against him, because later on he’s going to shock the world.”

But, perhaps the highest praise came from Aaron Henry who said, “He’s a competitor. You can’t teach those types of things...He’s that guy that wants that last shot and that wants that big matchup...That is somebody that I want to go to war with if I was on the team with him.”
