Davis made two free throws with two minutes left to knot the score at 62. Vinson answered with a 3-pointer, but Gerald Liddell's tip-in with 1:21 remaining cut the Titans' deficit to one. Liddell was fouled but missed a free throw with a chance to tie. Warrick and Brandon both made 1 of 2 foul shots in the final 17 seconds to preserve the win.
Davis will have his number 0 retired in a ceremony on Saturday when the Titans close out regular-season play by hosting Wright State. The teams are tied for the No. 7 seed in the Horizon League tournament.
