8-4 UC versus 5-7 Detroit Mercy on Wednesday night. Last non-conference game before the AAC Farewell Tour.
UC is #73 in Ken Pom (#50 in offensive efficiency, #92 in defensive efficiency - after sitting outside the top 100 on defense for a while)
Detroit is #205 with a top 75 offense but one of the worst defenses in DI.
Detroit is led by Antoine Davis, son of Mike Davis, who visited UC last summer while flirting with the transfer portal and ultimately staying home and scoring a great NIL deal (if I recall correctly). Davis recently passed Oscar Robertson on the all-time scoring list and eclipsed 3,000 points -- though Davis is in year 5, whereas The GOAT only played three years at UC. Davis averages 24.8 for Detroit, while the Titans also boast 6'8 fifth-year senior Gerald Liddell, who averages 18.4 and 14.6.
Coach Davis coached UC assistant Mike Roberts at IU.
Notable Detroit results: lost to Boston College, won versus Ohio U, lost to common opponent Bryant, lost by 42 at Washington State, won by four at Tulsa.
