"Titans open Horizon tourney with win, Davis (38 points) on brink of record". detroitnews.com. February 28, 2023. Retrieved March 1, 2023. Davis, the fifth-year senior guard whose No. 0 was hanging in the rafters at Calihan Hall for the first time for all to see Tuesday – it was retired by Detroit Mercy following the final regular-season game – made back-to-back 3's about 12 minutes into the game, opening up a 24-16 lead. He had 15 points at that point.
