DETROIT (3/15/2023) -- University of Detroit Mercy men's basketball graduate senior Antoine Davis earned a pair of All-American accolades.

For the second time in his career, the Associated Press named him an Honorable Mention All-American. In fact, he was the highest point receiver in the voting for any player who is not in the NCAA Tournament. 

In addition, he was named a Third Team All-American by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association, just the second Titan in school history to be named by that organization, joining Spencer Haywood in 1969.

The two-time Horizon League Player of the Year leads the nation in a number of categories, including scoring (28.2 ppg.), total points (930), total 3-pointers (159), 3-pointers per game (4.82) and total field goals (303). His 159, 3-pointers are second in NCAA history and three away from tying the single-season mark of 162 by Stephen Curry in 2007-08.

The only Titan to ever lead the nation in a NCAA statistic was Haywood, who averaged 22.1 rebounds in 1968-69, while his current rate of 28.2 points would be the second-highest in school history behind Haywood's 32.1 in 1968-69 and the highest in Horizon League history.

In his final collegiate season, he posted a conference-best 28, 20-point games, 14, 30-point outings and four 40-point outbursts. He had a streak of five-straight games with 30 or more, which was the longest 30-point streak in his career and by anyone in the NCAA in the last 25 years, while he also became the first Titan to ever register back-to-back 40-point games and he did that twice on the year, the first player to register that feat since LSU's Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf in 1989-90.

He also holds four NCAA records in total 3-pointers (588), 3-pointers by a freshman (132), consecutive games in double figures (144) and total games in double figures (144). He also has 3,664 career points, second in NCAA history and three away from tying Pete Maravich's record 3,667, while his 1,219 field goals are sixth all-time in the NCAA record book.

During the year, he became just the second player in NCAA history to amass 3,000 points and 500 assists.
