DETROIT (3/1/2019) -- It was a historical night in Calihan Hall on Thursday, Feb. 28, as University of Detroit Mercy guard
Antoine Davis broke the record for the most 3-pointers in a season by a freshman in NCAA history, passing current Golden State Warrior's superstar Stephen Curry's 122 mark at Davidson in 2006-07.
Along the way, Davis passed some great names in NCAA history, including another NBA player in Atlanta Hawk's star guard Trae Young, who had 118 at Oklahoma last year.
In a victory over IUPUI, Davis tied the mark early in the first and he connected on No. 123 with 17:01 on the clock in the second half.
He now has 125, 3-pointers on the season, a Titan freshman record and second in school history, trailing only legendary scorer Rashad Phillips' 136 in 2000-01.
Davis has already taken down three Titan freshman records this season in points in a game (48), 3-pointers in a season (125) and total points (729) and also owns a few Horizon League freshman records for points in a game (48), 3-pointers in a season (125) and points in a season (729).
In terms of overall league history, his current 26.0 ppg., is fifth overall, while his 125 triples are the fifth most in conference history behind Butler's Darrin Fitzgerald's 158 in 1986-87, Oakland's Travis Bader's 147 in 2013-14, Detroit Mercy's Rashad Phillips' 136 in 2000-01, and Oakland's Kendrick Nunn's 134 last year.
