Antoine Davis surpasses 2,500 career points, adds another record to his mantle
February 10, 2022
It’s no secret that Antoine Davis has enjoyed bushels of success at the Division I level. The NCAA’s leading scorer took a trip to Moon last night and had another milestone up his sleeve.
Davis has certainly enjoyed the matchup between the Titans and the Colonials over the past two seasons as well.
In his first meeting with RMU on Feb. 19, 2021, he put up 26 points. One day later, when they squared off to end the two-game COVID series, he scored 29 points.
Davis had one more meeting with Robert Morris in the 2020-21 season, where he put up 46 points in the first round of the Horizon League Tournament, which is just two points shy of his career-high with the Titans.
Wednesday night was no different for Davis, as he continued that impressive run against the Colonials. He put up 26 points, shooting 9/22 from the field and 6/15 from downtown.
Throughout his four games against the Colonials, Davis has totaled 127 points.
Robert Morris head coach Andy Toole was asked if Davis created a distraction to the team since he had their number in previous matchups, but Toole was quick to refute that claim.
Toole was disappointed with the outcome of the game, but he also said some words to Davis in the postgame press conference that not many opposing coaches would ever say.
He has also been on a record-breaking tear as of late, etching his name on the record book as he scored his 2,481st point on Saturday against Northern Kentucky, making him the all-time leading scorer in Horizon League play. He also leads the nation in scoring, averaging 23.3 points per game.
On top of all of that, in the 26 point effort from Davis this evening, he surpassed 2,500 career points on a three-point field goal with 50 seconds remaining in the first half. Davis becomes just the 76th player in NCAA D-I history to reach 2,500 career points.
It may be the last time that Antoine Davis steps onto the hardwood against a Robert Morris team, but he sure shows no signs of slowing down.
