DETROIT (1/13/2023) -- The University of Detroit Mercy men's basketball team will look to end a four-game slide as Robert Morris visits historic Calihan Hall on Saturday.

Game time is set for 1:00 p.m. (doors open at Noon) and will be broadcast live on ESPN+ and the Watch ESPN App with Jeremy Otto and Earl Cureton '11 on the call. Fans can also listen to the action on the radio on WLQV 92.7 FM & 1500 AM FaithTalk Detroit with the Voice of Detroit Mercy basketball Dan Hasty.

Cureton has the honor of being in both the Titan and Robert Morris Athletic Hall Of Fames. He played two seasons at Robert Morris, the second of which (1976-77) was the first as an NCAA Division I institution. That year he scored 446 points and pulled down a single-season school record 274 rebounds and remains the only Colonial player in program history to average a double-double at 17.2 points and 10.5 rebounds per contest. He transferred and helped the Titans to a 36-19 in his two years, advancing to the NCAA Tournament in 1979. He averaged 20.0 points and 9.1 rebounds to lead the team in 1980. He also sits ninth on the all-time Titan list in blocks with 79. He was selected in the third round of the 1979 NBA Draft by Philadelphia and played 12 years, earning rings with the 76'ers in 1983 and Houston in 1994.

Detroit Mercy is 6-12 and 2-5 in league play after falling to Youngstown State on Thursday. The Titans were led by the nation's leading scorer Antoine Davis' 32 points, while senior Gerald Liddell had 24.

Davis is now fifth in NCAA history with 3,191 career points, 26 behind Lionel Simmons (La Salle, 1986-90 - 3,217) for fourth and 34 in back of Chris Clemons (Campbell, 2015-19 - 3,225) for third. His 502 career triples is third all-time in NCAA history, eight away from owning that record, and he is also 16th in the record book with 1,066 career field goals.

Robert Morris is 8-10 on the season and 3-4 in the conference after losing at Oakland, 69-65, its last time out.

• Detroit Mercy saw half of its 24 field goals at Purdue Fort Wayne go in from behind the arc.

• Davis is one of the 20 candidates for the 2023 Bob Cousy Award (Point Guard of the Year Award) by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and is also on the watch list for the Naismith Trophy National Player of the Year and for the Lou Henson Award for the top mid-major player.  
• He was named a Preseason Third Team All-American by Dick Vitale. 
• Last season he earned the Lou Henson Award All-American, First Team USBWA All-District V and NABC First Team All-District 12 selection as well as the Co-HL Player of the Year, the first player in conference history to make All-League four times - with every one of those a first-team selection. 

WEARING THE SCORING CROWN

• Antoine Davis owned the scoring crown in the Horizon League last year at 23.9 points per game, third in the nation, as he became the first player in HL history to top the league in scoring four times, passing Loyola Chicago's Alfredrick Hughes, who did it in three-straight seasons (1983-85).
• He also finished top-four nationally for the fourth-straight year (26.1 for third in 2019, 24.3 for fourth in 2020 and 24.0 for third in 2021). 
• Davis is currently leading the country at 25.4 points per game.
• The only Titan to ever lead the nation in a NCAA statistic was Spencer Haywood, who averaged 22.1 rebounds in 1968-69. 

ANOTHER NCAA RECORD FOR DAVIS

• Antoine Davis scored 29 points against Bryant, but it was his 3-pointer in the first half that got him to 11 points and secured the NCAA record for the most consecutive games in double figures with 116-straight and he has now extended that to 129 after his 32 points against Youngstown State.  
• He broke the mark held by Chris Clemons (Campbell, 2015-2019) and Lionel Simmons (La Salle, 1987-90).
• As a freshman, Davis broke the NCAA record for 3-pointers in a season by a rookie with 132, passing Stephen Curry's 122 he had at Davidson in 2007-08.

RACKING UP THE POINTS

• Antoine Davis now has 92 career 20-point games, 30 career 30-point outings and four 40-point contests in 129 games - reaching 17 points in 113 of them.
• This year, he has a league-best 15, 20-point games and four 30-point outings. 

ABOUT 3,000 POINTS

• Antoine Davis is the highest active scorer in the country in total points with 3,191, fifth in NCAA history. 
• At the moment, only 11 players have reached 3,000 at the DI level. He is 26 behind Lionel Simmons (La Salle, 1986-90 - 3,217) for fourth, 34 in back of Chris Clemons (Campbell, 2015-19 - 3,225) for third and 476 away from Pete Maravich's NCAA record 3,667.
• It was his 18th point at Robert Morris last season on a three that put him at 2,500 career points, which was just the fourth time that a student-athlete has posted 2,500 with his dad as head coach following Pete Maravich (Press Maravich), Doug McDermott (Greg McDermott) and Allan Houston (Wade Houston). 
• Imagine that record with the idea that Davis and the Titans have seen 15 games canceled and not made up in the last two seasons - seven of those being at home - due to the pandemic, at least one game missed due to the Titans not being eligible for the postseason in 2019-20 and one game canceled at California in his freshman year due to smoke from wildfires.
• Also, his current game total of 129 games is consistent with a normal four-year playing career. 

ONE LETHAL SHOT

• Antoine Davis comes into the game fifth all-time in NCAA history with 3.90, three-point field goals per game. 
• He tied his career and school career best with 10, 3-pointers - the fourth time he has done that - at Charlotte. He also had six against Milwaukee, back-to-back games of six against Bryant and home versus Charlotte and five at NKU, Ohio, at Purdue Fort Wayne, and at Tulsa and is third in the NCAA with 4.12, 3-pointers per contest. 
• Davis has made a three in 124 of his 129 collegiate games, with 70 career games with four or more triples, 25 with six or more, 11 games with seven or more, and has four times connected on 10 in his career, tying a school record as well as breaking a conference tournament record.

• He is currently third in NCAA history in 3-pointers at 502, two away from Oakland's Travis Bader for second and seven away from Fletcher Magee's NCAA-record 509. 

CASHING IN ON THE FREE ONES

• Graduate senior Antoine Davis led the HL and was 23rd in the nation in free-throw percentage (88.2%) last year, good for sixth in school history as he is also first with 91.7% in 2021, 90.1% for fourth in 2020 and 85.7% for ninth in 2019. 
• He is currently third in the Horizon League and 22nd in DI at 89.4%.

• Davis had a career-best of 57-straight between the end of his junior and the start of his senior year.

AD THE QUICKEST TO 1,000 & 2,000 & OWNS THE SCHOOL RECORD

• With his 39 points at home against Milwaukee as a senior last season, Antoine Davis became the Titans' all-time leading scorer passing Rashad Phillips (2,319) with his 36th point and now has a HL record 3,191 points, passing Loyola Chicago's Alfredrick Hughes' (1981-85) 2,914.
• Davis scored 27 points at Notre Dame in the 2019-20 season, but it was his free throw for 26 that made history giving him 1,000 career points in just 39 games, passing the great Dave DeBusschere as the fastest Titan to reach 1,000.
• DeBusschere accomplished the feat in his 43rd collegiate game.
• Davis became the 43rd player in school history to eclipse 1,000 career points and just the third second-year player joining DeBusschere (who did it as a junior as freshmen could not play) and sophomore Ray McCallum in 2010-11.
• Last year, he passed DeBusschere again (1,978) for third in Titan history as he crossed the 2,000-point plateau in his 81st game, quicker than the other two 2,000-point scorers in John Long (2,167 total - 2,000 in game 102) and Rashad Phillips (2,319 total - 2,000 in game 116).

TWO WITH DOUBLES

• Graduate senior Antoine Davis and senior Gerald Liddell did something no Titan teammates have done since 2003.
• Davis was 11-of-22 and Liddell was 10-of-19 from the field.

WHAT A START FOR LIDDELL

• Senior Gerald Liddell returned after missing two games with an injury and had 24 points with six rebounds, two assists and two steals against Youngstown State.
• He had to wait seven games to play as his eligibility was cleared by the NCAA, but it might have been worth the wait as the senior transfer has posted seven double-doubles in his first nine games.

• The 18 rebounds at Charlotte were the most by a Titan since Eli Holman had 18 versus Milwaukee in 2010.
