Daum Earns Another Summit League Weekly Honor

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – South Dakota State’s Mike Daum was announced Monday as the Summit League’s Player of the Week, earning the award for the eighth time this season. Daum opened the week with a monster 38-point, 20-rebound double-double in the Jackrabbits’ victory over Purdue Fort Wayne Thursday and followed that with a 25-point showing against in-state rival South Dakota, helping the Jackrabbits in a 94-89 victory. One of just 10 NCAA Division I players to score 3,000 in a career, the Kimball, Nebraska native has been named as the Summit League’s weekly award winner 18 times as a Jackrabbit. Both his single-season and career totals for Player of the Week honors rank first in Summit League history.
