When a shooter is locked in like AD was tonight, you just keep feeding him and let him shoot. I'm glad he gave the other shooters could conserve their strength for the next game.

I loved Duerod and the form and arc of his shot were incredible. But he was more of a spot up shooter and not a ball handler or great defender. Antoine can creat shots, drive the lane, and is becoming a very good all round point guard.

I don't think the rest of the Titans played that poorly tonight. RMU played some really tough defense, and didn't give us many good looks. But in doing that, they're one of the few teams (the only team?) that didn't routinely rotate a second man onto Davis. It was the opposite of the "we're going to make the rest of the team beat us" approach--a "we're going to let Antoine Davis beat us" approach. And he did. And that's the difference with this year's team--if you just bunch up on AD, Waterman and Kuol and Johnson will kill you. So RMU went back to the strategy teams used when AD first appeared on the scene 27 months ago--just play it straight man-to-man. And he's hard to stop.
Or maybe AD was just upset about not being HL POY.

"Davis from the parking lot!" Has to be a classic call in all of broadcasting made by Jeremy Otto.

I missed tonights game, according to the box score and my fellow posters, it seems as if AD played well tonight. He has been distributing the ball well lately.

I was looking to see if any of the naysayers were on here tonite who said Davis hasn't improved or we might be better off without him. I guess they must be down on campus looking to shake his hand and apologize. Tonight he put us on his back and carried us and actually should have shot more but he kept trying to get his teammates going. THANKS GUYS GOOD GAME! We will have to be better at Northern Kentucky.

Curious who the "naysayers" are... but hats off to AD for a great day shooting the ball today. Hope he keeps it up throughout the tourney as he's been on an incredible run of late.

ESPN showed about a 30 sec. clip on AD and the Titans game after the MSU v OSU game and also on Sports Center so Detroit Mercy received some good National exposure tonite.

Two of the naysayers, posters who I can not remember ever being positive but only posting when they have an opportunity to degrade Coach or Antoine are titanslappy1987 and therealcoach and there are a few others who seem to drift in and out of here disappearing when things are good.
