DETROIT (AP) Detroit Mercy’s men’s basketball team began the season with three games in five days. A week later, a matchup with Kentucky was canceled. Then on the last weekend of December, there was some uncertainty about whether a couple games against rival Oakland would be played.
They were, but Detroit Mercy coach Mike Davis wasn’t happy about it.
“I said enough is enough,” Davis recalled. “We’re taking some time off.”
After the two games against Oakland, the Detroit Mercy program paused activities, citing not positive COVID-19 tests or contact tracing issues but the mental health of its athletes. The Titans didn’t play another game until Jan. 15. Since then, they’ve found their stride, winning 10 of their final 12 regular-season games going into Thursday night’s game against Robert Morris in the Horizon League Tournament.
