Detroit Mercy guard Antoine Davis scored 3,664 points in his college career, four points shy of breaking "Pistol" Pete Maravich's record of 3,667 points.

Davis entered Thursday night’s game against Youngstown State in the Horizon League tournament needing just 26 points to break the record.

He scored 22 points in a 71-66 loss, likely ending his career as Detroit Mercy is a long shot for a postseason bid.  NOTRE DAME'S MIKE BREY THROWS ONE BACK AFTER COACHING FINAL HOME GAME WITH TEAM

"It’s really special," Davis said. "Maybe in 20 or 25 years somebody is going to be doing the same thing that I did, chase that record, maybe even sooner than that.

"It’s just a special feeling. I don’t take any of this for granted at all. I’m thankful for this. Blessed. I still feel like I’m the best scorer of my generation. Nobody can take that from me."

Davis made two free throws with 0:10 seconds remaining in the game to get within three points of tying the record, but the graduate student missed his final three-point attempt, more than likely keeping the record safe for Maravich.
