DETROIT (AP) — Antoine Davis scored 42 points, knocking down 10 3-pointers, made five assists and Detroit Mercy burst away from Loyola (Md.) after halftime for a 91-63 victory Monday night.

Detroit Mercy ended the game going 17-for-28 from distance, an astonishing 61 percent. All the more astonishing, they started out 6-for-16 in the first half but made 92 percent from behind the arc (11-for-12) after halftime.
Demen King added 17 points and four 3-pointers, Josh McFolley 12 with a pair from deep, and Tra'Quan Knight 10 points.
