Titans Have Talent

     The University of Detroit Mercy Men's basketball team is off to a rough start this season.  The Titans currently have an overall record of 2-12, and as the saying goes you are what you're record says you are.  The Titans do have talented players on their roster including one of the top scorers in the Country.  Sophomore Guard #0 Antoine Davis is currently averaging 25.6 points per game, and Davis is shooting over 93% from the free throw line.  Antoine Davis is the son of Titans Head Coach Mike Davis.
     #12 Guard Brad Calipari is a graduate transfer from the University of Kentucky.  Brad is the son of Kentucky Wildcats Head Coach John Calipari.  Brad Calipari is an excellent three point shooter, and he's currently averaging 7.1 points per game for the Titans this season.  Calipari is shooting over 44% from the field, and he's averaging over 45% from three point range.
     Other players will have ample opportunities to step up this season including a trio of Sophomore Forwards.  #21 Chris Brandon, #41 Willy Isiani, and #1 Marquise Moore have each played in all fourteen games this season, and all three players have tremendous upside.  Junior Guard #4 Dwayne Rose Jr. is also a veteran that the Titans can rely on.  Rose Jr. played his Freshman season for the University of Toledo Rockets.  Dwayne Rose Jr. is the nephew of current Detroit Pistons Guard #25 Derrick Rose.
     The University of Detroit Mercy is a NCAA Division I program, and the Titans compete in the Horizon League.  Even if the Titans struggle during the regular season there is always the possibility of winning the Conference Tournament to receive an automatic bid to the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) Men's Basketball Tournament.
