Slam dunks

►The Oakland men were surging into the start of Horizon League play, Thursday night at UIC, thanks to the play of Marquette transfer Jamal Cain. The Pontiac native has won consecutive league player of the week awards. He's the only player in Division I averaging more than 20 points (22.6), 10 rebounds (11.1) and 2.5 steals (2.6) as the Golden Grizzlies have climbed to No. 1 in the national RPI rankings. The RPI factors in wins, losses and strength of schedule.

►Detroit Mercy senior guard Antoine Davis continues to add to his record-breaking collegiate career, his 23 points in Tuesday's loss to Northeastern moving him past John Long and into second place on the Titans' all-time scoring list. Davis is at 2,182 points, 137 behind Rashad Phillips — who has become a Davis cheerleader, writing on Twitter, "Burn it all down Jedi. I'm enjoying it all."
