Get ready for a debate over who should be recognized as college basketball’s rightful all-time leading scorer.
Little-known Detroit Mercy combo guard Antoine Davis now could be a single game away from unseating legendary Pete Maravich as the record holder.
Davis extended his college career beyond the opening round of the Horizon League tournament on Tuesday night, tallying 38 points to lead eighth-seeded Detroit Mercy to an 81-68 throttling of ninth-seeded Purdue Fort Wayne. The dazzling performance increased Davis’ career output to 3,642 points, 25 shy of equaling Maravich’s NCAA-record 3,667 career points that has stood since 1970.
