CAREER NOTES: Ranks sixth in UO career three-point field goals with 156 and fourth in career three-point field goal percentage at .404.
2003-04: Career numbers are beginning to bear out Davis’ claim to be one of the best long-range shooters ever at Oregon. Possesses tremendous range and hits consistently from the arc and beyond. Nearly three-fourths of his career field goals have come from three-point range.
2002-03: Threatened Oregon’s single season three-point record of 94 (Orlando Williams/1994-95), falling just four short of that mark with 90. Still, that ranks third on the UO single season list. Started all but one game and ranked third on the team in scoring (10.5 ppg). Led the Pac-10 in three-pointers made per game (2.73) and ranked fourth in three-point field goal percentage at .431, which also ranked 10th on the UO single season list. Had 19 double-figure scoring games. Hit at least four threes 12 times. Matched career-high with 21 points on seven three-pointers (one off the school record) Nov. 24 vs. Grambling State. Also had a career-best seven rebounds against the Tigers. Hit 6-of-7 threes for 18 points in Jan. 18 win vs. Washington. Career-high six assists to go with 16 points in Feb. 15 win at Oregon State. Great performance in the March 13-15 Pac-10 Tournament earned him an all-tourney team nod. Averaged 14.3 points per game, while shooting 51.7 percent from the field. Hit 11 three pointers during the tournament. Scored 16 points in the opening game vs. Arizona State. Had 15 points -- all on threes -- in semifinal vs. UCLA, including two late bombs as Oregon came back from 11 points down in the final three minutes. Netted 12 points on 4-of-8 threes in the championship game vs. USC. Played a career-high 37 minutes in the March 21 NCAA Tournament first round game vs. Utah.
2001-02: Was a major threat off the bench and saw action in all 35 games. Netted 46 threes (114 attempts). Shot .404 from downtown. Excellent free throw shooter hit 80.6 percent in limited attempts (25-of-31). One of the first players off the bench averaged 6.0 points per game. Eight double-figure scoring games. Hit a season-high six threes (eight attempts) for 18 points in the season opener against Alabama State. Netted three-of-five threes at Minnesota for nine of his 11 points. Scored 12 and 14 points, respectively, as the Ducks swept Arizona State and Arizona. Had 10 points off the bench in win at Arizona. Netted a career-high 21 points to lead Oregon past Washington State in Pullman (94-86).
2000-01: Played in 17 games and shot a respectable 31.7 percent from beyond the arc (20-of-63). Had season-best 10 points in Nov. 25 win over Portland State. Hit three three-pointers in that game as well as at Stanford (Jan. 13) and vs. UCLA (Feb. 22). Three assists in Dec. 12 win vs. Illinois-Chicago. Four rebounds in Jan. 20 win over Washington State. Saw double-figure minutes in eight contests, including a high of 22 vs. Arizona State on Feb. 4.
