I watched part of the game. At first, they were using him more as a decoy as other players were contributing. Mercy led at halftime and even had about a 8 point lead in the 2nd half. But Youngstown State tied it up at about 64 and Mercy never could get the lead back, and they lost 71-66.. Compared to what I briefly saw last game, his shot was not on, plus he was getting hounded when the chips were down. He is 3 short of PP.
However, once again times change...
Detroit Mercy could still play in the CBI, which does *not* have a win percentage criteria to participate, as long as they are invited and willing to pay a $50,000 entry fee. If they go, Davis' points would count toward the record.
But...
- There was no CBI back in the old days!
- No way a team with a losing record got to play in the post season back when even really good teams didn't get to play!
- This is like paying for the record!
- Get off my lawn, kid!
Change happens. I feel one either embraces it, or lives in the past. I have no rose-colored glasses, so I think it would be money well spent if Mercy went. The CBI probably knows people would watch their tourney more if Mercy went. Heck, I'd contribute to a GoFundMe if they needed it!

I will never talk about That Game. GTHC.
