Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
There’s a nightly cable news show called “The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell.”
Thursday night at the Nutter Center it was the last word with Jaylon Hall.
And the subject of the debate wasn’t politics, it was offense versus defense and, at times, it made for quite a show.
It pitted Detroit Mercy’s Antoine Davis, the No. 3 scorer in the nation and at 23.8 points per game the top offensive weapon in the Horizon League, against Hall, the 6-foot-5 Wright State guard, who is – according to Mike Davis, the Titans’ head coach and Antoine’s dad – “the best defensive player in our league.”
And in the second half both Hall and Antoine Davis had their say.
After a frustrating 0-for-8 start from the floor in the first half, Davis got on track in the second half. At the 15:00 mark, after driving past Hall for a quick-as-a-wink layup, he added a verbal exclamation point.
“He didn’t start talking to me ‘til then,” Hall said. “He said something like ‘I’m here…now!’”
