Horizon League Basketball: Ranking of 25 best players from last decade (2013-23)

1. Antoine Davis

Davis is a 6’1 point guard from Birmingham, Alabama who truly became a scoring machine under his father at Detroit Mercy. While Davis did play five collegiate seasons due to the pandemic, his sheer numbers are beyond anything we’ve ever seen in this sport, and we’re not just talking about in Horizon League history.

As a freshman, Davis averaged 26.1 points per game and shot 38% from outside the arc; these numbers were no fluke. In each of his five seasons, he averaged at least 23.9 points a game. He was a high-output shooter and scorer like the Horizon League had never seen. He scored 42 points in his fourth collegiate game, the first of eight 40-point games he’d have in his career. Davis had five games with at least ten 3-pointers and was everything for Titans basketball in the last half-decade.

Davis finished his career just three points behind Pete Maravich, establishing himself as the second-best scorer in college basketball history. He was First Team All-Horizon in all five seasons, wining a pair of Player of the Year awards in his last two seasons as well. His scoring output was off the charts, leading the Horizon League in points per game in all five seasons while racking up decent shooting and assists numbers as well. Davis never had a winning season with the Titans, but he did everything else to be a superstar.
