Scott Rabalais: Really, Antoine Davis? You wanted even more games to pass Pete Maravich?
Former Detroit Mercy scoring phenom Antonie Davis told The Associated Press this week he feels “like I got cheated out of something” because his team wasn’t invited to the CBI Antoine Davis, former Detroit Mercy scoring phenom, has expressed his disappointment that his team was not invited to the CBI tournament, thus giving him one more shot to break Pete Maravich's all-time college scoring record. Davis had five years to play 144 games to MarAVich's 83 in three years at LSU, and still came up three points short, 3,667 to 3,664. His son Jaeson said it best: “Your season should be over if you’re 14-19. If you can’t leave with the record, leave with some self-respect.

Cheated? Really? Come on, kid. Enough is enough.
Your team was 14-19. It didn’t deserve a postseason bid to anything, much less a tournament it would have to pay $27,500 to enter. You had five years to play 144 games to Maravich’s 83 in three years at LSU (freshmen were ineligible then), and you still came up three points short, 3,667 to 3,664. And, AND, you had a 3-point shot to boost your totals, plus a shot clock to speed up the game.
You weren’t cheated out of anything. You had more than enough chances. Don’t blame the CBI.
Maravich’s son Jaeson said it best:
“Your season should be over if you’re 14-19.”
So should Davis’ crying about the record. It’s over. You took a noble shot at it under the circumstances. If you can’t leave with the record, leave with some self-respect.
