As a senior, Davis posted 15.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game while shooting his best 3-point percentage and free throw percentage of his career at 37.1% and 77.2% respectively.[1] He was named SEC player of the week after scoring 27 points and pulling down 12 rebounds, in a win over Auburn on January 9, 2019. Davis was named to the Second-team All-SEC.[3] During his career at Ole Miss, Davis led the team to the NCAA tournament for the ninth time in school history.
