Top-seed Youngstown State rallied late to defeat Detroit Mercy, 71-66. They're heading to Indianapolis.

Antoine Davis missed a late three that would've tied Pete Maravich's scoring record. At 14-19, I can't imagine they'll play another game.

So Antoine Davis of Detroit Mercy is going to break the career scoring record in a few games. Some idiot on SportsCenter a couple of days ago said “to be fair, there was no 3-pointer when Maravich played”.

While that’s true, the actual “to be fair” statement should be that Pistol Pete couldn’t play as a freshman due to NCAA rules, and didn’t get a 5th year because of Covid.

Maravich, in 3 years, played 83 games and scored 3,667 points for a 44.2 average.

Davis, in 5 years, has 139 games so far, including 22 in the shortened season, and has 3,512 points for a 25.3 average.

It‘s a shame that Maravich will lose that record to a guy he outscored by almost 19 points per game due to the extra season.

On the other hand, Pete Maravich shot the ball 38 times/game. Davis only 21 FGA/game. Pretty crazy Pistol out attempted him in 3 years vs. 5. Guess he was gunning.

But, Davis just got bounced by YSU in the first round of the Horizon at 22 points.

4 points shy of breaking the record.

Now the question is do they buy their way into a CBI type post season tournament? I would hope not.

That thing is going to stand forever now.

I forgot about that thing. The CBI may invite them just to try to draw some attention and sell a few tickets. That would suck.

It's a 16-team tournament being held entirely in Daytona Beach this time around. Tickets start at $8.

I did more digging than any person should on a potential third tier tournament bid. It doesn’t look like it’ll happen for Detroit.

The CollegeInsider Tournament (CIT) is apparently dead (who knew it was alive?). That means the CBI is the only one left after the NIT. They should have plenty of 18-20+ win options to fill the 16 teams. But who knows.

Have to agree with this. Said it before in this thread but the Big East has had some fun midweek games. The Big Ten? Well…I guess some have been close but I don’t enjoy it.

Those are conference ranks (out if 32) from KenPom

But how many of those teams with a few more wins than Detroit have anything they can promote? ESPN2 is broadcasting the CBI, and Davis chasing Maravich is something they can talk about. Make them the 16th seed of a shitty 16 team tournament, sell a few tickets, draw a few eyeballs, and make a big fuss when he breaks the record. I wouldn't be surprised at all if it happens. I'll be more shocked if it doesn't.

Arch Madness is living up to it in the Missouri Valley. Belmont and Indiana State just combined to hit 28 threes.

Some kid named Cooper Neese hit 9 of 11 for the Sycamores, who won 94-91. Somewhere, Larry Bird loved it.
