re: Looks like Pistol Pete’s record is safe!

Thank God.
Some of you will sleep now

If the record is one day broken, I hope it’s at least someone that got 4 years of eligibility.

if they are going to count someones stats today with a shot clock, 3 point line and 4 years of eligibility with what Pete did in 3 years with no shot clock and no three point line then the NCAA needs to add Pete's freshman stats to his record to make it "somewhat" fair comparison...

PS8 anyone ?

Will that be a sanctioned postseason tournament? If it is not then the points will not count.

Nah it's not starting this year.

The Basketball Classic doesn't have anything on their page for 2023, so I assume Davis' chase is over. For the weirdos who love mid-major hoops, the CBI actually has some decent teams, including 2 from the Horizon where Detroit Mercy plays. Everyone would've known that DM would've only been there bc of Davis' record chase, DM would be pretty easily the worst team in that bracket too

Now the other real tell sign who good this guy really is, will he be drafted by the NBA??


And I say no shot!!!

How many games did Pete play and how many did Davis play?



All that needs to be said.

The team was defeated by Youngstown State in the Horizon League tournament's second round. Davis needed 26 points to break Maravich's record, but ended the night with 22, shooting 7-of-25 from the field.

Didn't ball out in his last game either.

I wonder if the record chase is more on his dad, than him...

quote:

Davis struggled to shoot well in the final eight minutes of that game after he injured his shoulder when he fell into the bleachers. He finished 7 of 26 from the field and 4 of 16 from 3-point range for 22 points. Over the last eight minutes, he was 1 of 9 from the field with six of the misses from 3-point range.

In Detroit Mercy’s previous game, Davis passed up several open shots late in an 81-68 win over Purdue Fort Wayne in the Horizon League Tournament. Instead, he passed off to teammates. Little did he know that two more buckets in that game would’ve given him the record in the next game. He finished with 38 points and eight assists in that game.

“The fact was, we had one minute to go, and he could’ve easily went in for layups,” Detroit Mercy coach Mike Davis, his father, said. “He gave it up to his teammates. That tells you who he is as a teammate and as a person.”

Sounds like his dad was moaning about the fact that he didn't shoot more, in the final minute of a game they won by 13, and he had 38 pts.

You're up that big with a minute left, and "open", you don't shoot. You run clock, and pass when they start to run at you. It's a tournament, you play to win first, not get records.

As for him "falling into the bleachers", credit to him if he's diving for loose balls, instead trying to spot up. And they lost by 5, so if the score was that close, I don't fault him shooting (and missing) so much, if they were good looks. He's clearly their offense, and sounds like he was trying to keep them in the game.

They use to play the games at the Cow Palace (Ag center) so Pistol never actually played in the PMAC ... crazy to think.
