ABOUT COREY DAVIS
Davis was a leader for the Cougars throughout his senior season. The Lafayette, La., native led Houston with 17.0 points per game and was one of Houston's and the American Athletic Conference's most prolific 3-pointers, draining 111 treys in 296 attempts.
With his total in 2018-19, Davis joined Robert McKiver as the only Cougars to post multiple seasons with 100+ 3-point field goals during their careers. He finished among the Cougars' Top-10 career leaders in 3-point field goals and 3-point field goal attempts.
Davis enjoyed 12 20-point games in 2018-19 and scored a career-high 31 points with six assists in Houston's 85-69 win at No. 20/19 Cincinnati on March 10 in the regular-season finale. That win clinched the Cougars' first outright regular-season conference championship since 1984.
Davis moved past 1,000 points in his Houston career, becoming the 48th Cougar in school history to reach that milestone and finished his career with 1,086 points to rank 39th in program history
This season, Davis was named to the All-American Athletic Conference First Team and USBWA District VII team and was selected for The American Championship All-Tournament Team for the second straight season.
