ROCHESTER, Mich. (2/23/19) -- Three Titans scored in double-figures, headlined by freshman Antoine Davis' 20 points, but it wasn't enough as the University of Detroit Mercy fell to Oakland, 95-75, Saturday afternoon in a #MetroSeries battle.

Senior Josh McFolley tallied 14 points on a pair of 3-pointers and Harrison Curry netted 13 points over 17 minutes played.
