ELMHURST, Ill. – For the fourth time in the last five weeks, South Dakota State’s Mike Daum earned Summit League Men’s Basketball Player of the Week honors, announced Tuesday by the league office.
Daum, who was last week’s honoree as well, averaged a double-double in a pair of wins with 30.5 points and 10 rebounds per contest. The junior shot 55.9 percent from the field, hit 8-of-13 from deep and buried 15 of his 16 free throw attempts.
He posted career double-double No. 20 on Thursday, finishing with 27 points and 12 rebounds against Oral Roberts. The Kimball, Neb., native followed with his seventh 30-point game of the season Saturday, tallying 34 points on 10-of-14 shooting against Denver while adding eight boards. He is now 18th in Summit League history with 1,889 career points.
Daum is a five-time Player of the Week honoree this season and has earned the award nine times in his career. Both marks are third-best all-time in the Summit League.
The Jackrabbits return to the court Saturday in Macomb, Ill. to take on Western Illinois at 7 p.m.
