Davis Earns WBCA All-Region Honors
March 21, 2019 | Women's Basketball
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- The Women's Basketball Coaches Association announced the finalists for 2019 WBCA NCAA Division I Coaches' All-America honors, and Tennessee sophomore Rennia Davis is among the 12 players earning All-Region 2 acclaim.
The WBCA selection committee will choose the 10-member WBCA NCAA Division I Coaches' All-America team from 52 candidates spread across five regions. That squad will be announced Thursday, April 4, during the WBCA Convention at Amalie Arena  in Tampa Bay, Florida.
The committee uses an equation to determine an equitable number of nominees from each region. The number of NCAA Division I institutions in each region is divided by the number of NCAA Division I institutions overall to determine a percentage for each region. This percentage is then multiplied by 52 (the total number of desired finalists) to get the number of finalists for each region.
Davis, a 6-foot-2 guard/forward from Jacksonville, Fla., is Tennessee's second-leading scorer at 14.7 points per game and leads the Lady Vols in rebounding (7.7 rpg.) and free throw shooting percentage (.876). That accuracy at the charity stripe is No. 1 in the SEC and No. 22 nationally and ties as the eighth-best by a Lady Vol in a single season.
A starter during 61 of 63 games in her two-year career, Davis has posted a team-leading eight double-doubles this season and has scored in double figures a team-high 25 times, including 15 games with 15 or more points and five with 20 or more. Davis also is tied for the team lead with nine double-digit rebound games this season. Her 7.7 per game rebound average is the ninth-best ever in a season by a Lady Vol sophomore, while her 14.7 scoring average is No. 7 all-time by a UT sophomore.
In addition to ranking No. 1 in free throw percentage (.876) among SEC players, Davis ranks No. 8 in rebounding (7.7), No. 10 in field goal percentage (.452) and No. 13 in scoring (14.7). Â
Davis and her teammates are headed to College Park, Md., on Thursday in advance of the NCAA Tournament First and Second Rounds. No. 11 seed UT will face No. 6 seed UCLA at 1 p.m. ET on Saturday at the XFINITY Center on the University of Maryland campus. The game will be carried by ESPN2Â and the Lady Vol Radio Network.
