Jackrabbits' Last Time Out
  LARAMIE, Wyoming -- Three Jackrabbits scored in double figures but it wasn't as South Dakota State fell, 77-67, at Wyoming on Saturday evening.
  SDSU (1-3) shot 35.1 percent from the field and hit 12-of-37 three-pointers on the nation's highest elevated court above sea level (7,220 feet). Wyoming (3-0) hit 24-of-54 field goal attempts (44.4 percent) and had 10 three-pointers.
  Mike Daum led all scorers with 24 points, adding eight rebounds to just miss his second consecutive double-double. Chris Howell and Reed Tellinghuisen joined him in double figures with 12 and 11, resepectively, as Tellinghuisen added seven rebounds.
  Cole Gentry dished out a game-high five assists on the day.
  Three Cowboys were in double figures. Justin James scored 18, Jason McManamen added 16 and Alexander Aka Gorski had 15.
  The game opened with an onslaught of three-point attempts from each team as 10 of the first 13 field goal attempts were from beyond the arc.
  Tevin King hit a three-pointer at 15:49 to give SDSU its first lead of the night, 8-6, as a media timeout was taken after a technical foul on the Jacks. The Cowboys responded with 10 unaswered out of the pause to go up 16-8 just past the 14-minute mark, but the Jacks chipped away at the deficit and eventually took a 23-21 lead inside 10 minutes to play, outscoring Wyoming 15-5 in that stretch.
  The Jacks continued to push and led, 27-23, just prior to the under eight media timeout after shooting 52.4 percent from the field in opening 13 minutes of play.Â
   SDSU pushed its lead to 32-26 at 4:41 off of Daum's third three-pointer of the night, but couldn't shake a pesky Wyoming attack as the Cowboys regained a 33-32 lead with 1:33 on the clock. The teams traded three-pointers over the next 30 seconds of play, and though SDSU had a chance for a lead as the clock counted down, the deficit stayed at one, 36-35, at the half.
  Daum led all scorers with 16 points in the half, hitting 4-of-5 three-pointers. Howell added eight for the Jacks while Cole Gentry dished out three assists in the opening 20 minutes.
  Wyoming opened the second half with six unanswered, holding the Jacks scoreless in the period until 14:42, when Tellinghuisen made it 42-38 with a three-pointer from the corner.
  Down 49-42 at 12:25, that score held until 9:46 with A.J. Hess hit a three-pointer in transition to make it a four-point game, ending a scoreless stretch of nearly three minutes for the Jacks, and on the other end Wyoming ended a scoreless streak of nearly the same length for the home team.
  Free throws kept things within striking distance for the Jacks as SDSU hit only one field goal between 13:01 and 5:37, when Howell hit a runner in the lane to move SDSU back within single digits, down 63-54.
  Down 10 with five minutes to play, Ian Theisen hit a much-needed three-pointer for the Jacks at 3:50 to make it 65-58, and though SDSU did not allow a field goal from Wyoming for over three minutes late in the game, a Jackrabbit comeback fell short, though it did not lack drama inside the final minute.
  Tellinghuisen was fouled on a three-point attempt and hit all three from the charity stripe with 57 seconds left, and Mike Daum had a four-point play with a contested three-pointer and free throw with 34 seconds on the clock to draw SDSU within six, but Wyoming matched the Jacks on the other end to hang on for the win.
Vandals' Last Time Out (GoVandals.com)
  LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – It took a full team effort on Friday night but Idaho (2-1) handled business at 2016 NCAA Tournament participant Little Rock (2-1), defeating the Trojans 65-57.
  Idaho got out to a strong start, hitting a pair of 3's on its first two possessions.  Trevon Allen nailed the first on the opening possession and Brayon Blake hit the second.
  Little Rock would stay in it, eventually taking a 14-13 lead at the 13:47 mark, but Idaho would go on an incredible 12-0 run to take a commanding lead late in the first half.  Little Rock would go more than eight minutes without scoring a point during the stretch.
  The Vandals stayed up for most of the second half, allowing Little Rock to tie the score once early.  But Idaho would bounce back to rebuild its lead and never looked back, icing the game with some clutch free throw shooting down the stretch.
  Victor Sanders led the way for Idaho with 20 points, four rebounds and four assists.  Blake had another tremendous game, leading the Vandals with 12 boards and adding seven points.Â
  The Vandals were without veteran leader Perrion Callandret, but the freshman class stepped up.  Allen stepped up for his first collegiate start, finishing with just three points but contributing on both sides of the ball for 20 minutes.  Myles Franklin also gave some good minutes, splitting time with Allen and finishing with four points and four boards off the bench.
  The win snapped an 18-game home winning streak for Little Rock, the eighth longest streak in the nation.  Little Rock earned the Sun Belt's bid to the 2016 NCAA Tournament and defeated #5 Purdue before falling in the second round.
  Idaho bounced back with its shooting performance, finishing at 42.9 percent (21-of-49) from the floor and 40 percent (6-of-15) from range.  Idaho was outrebounded on the night, 43-39.

Scoring Streaks and Quick Hits
Jackrabbit Season Preview
South Dakota State enters the 2016-17 campaign with several new faces, but similar goals coming off its third NCAA Tournament appearance in the past five seasons. The Jackrabbits were picked second in The Summit League's preseason poll, finishing behind Fort Wayne and ahead of North Dakota State in the top three spots. Individually, Mike Daum headlined the preseason poll as the 2016-17 The Summit League Preseason Player of the Year alongside his First Team honors. Reed Tellinghuisen was picked Second Team. Daum is coming off a stellar redshirt freshman campaign where, despite starting only two games, led the team in points (15.2) and rebounds (6.1) and scored in double figures 30 times, including the final 21 games. He was named a Kyle Macy All-American, the Summit League Newcomer and Sixth Man of the Year (with First Team and All-Newcomer Team honors). Tellinghuisen started 34 games last season and shot 36.8 percent beyond the arc, averaging 9.0 points and 4.8 rebounds per contest. He is the most experienced Jackrabbit on the floor (69 games, 57 starts). Other key returners include Ian Theisen, Tevin King, Skyler Flatten and Lane Severyn.

Two other transfers, Chris Howell (Butler Community College) and Andre Wallace (Iowa Western) will be part of the conversation as well.
New Faces, Great Places
South Dakota State's hiring of first-year head coach T.J. Otzelberger was a nod to the state's motto, "Great Faces, Great Places." The new face of the program, announced April 14, 2016, is in his first-ever heading coaching role, but has been groomed for the position over several assistant stops, working with Lorenzo Romar (Washington), Fred Hoiberg (Iowa State), Greg McDermott (Iowa State) and Steve Prohm (Iowa State). Alongside Otzelberger, new members of the coaching staff include Ben Walker, a Creighton hall of fame member who last coached at Jackson State, Eric Henderson, a former Wayne State (Neb.) standout who spent last season with SDSU's rival, North Dakota State, and Tyler Glidden, the director of operations who has worked at Creighton and Iowa State. Rob Klinkefus was the lone holdover from former head coach Scott Nagy's staff, and enters his 11th season at SDSU.
#FearFrost
The Jacks own a 64-3 record at Frost Arena over the last five seasons, which includes perfect home records in four of the last five years, including 2015-16. That also includes a 30-game home winning streak from Jan. 29, 2011 through Nov. 14, 2013, and their current 30-game home winning streak, the third-longest home winning streak in Division I as of Nov. 16. South Dakota State completed its sixth perfect record at Frost Arena last on Feb. 27, with its win over Oral Roberts. SDSU put together undefeated seasons inside Frost Arena the following years: 1984-85 (18-0), 2002-03 (17-0), 2011-12 (14-0), 2012-13 (13-0), 2014-15 (13-0), 2015-16 (12-0) and so far in 2016-17 (1-0).
20-Win Seasons
Reaching the 20-win mark has become a standard at South Dakota State University over the previous five seasons, as the Jackrabbits have done in four times in that span and 23 times in the program's history.Â
2015-16 Season Review
The 2015-16 Jackrabbit Men's Basketball season featured several highlights throughout the campaign, including a trip to the NCAA Tournament, a conference tournament title and earning a share of The Summit League's regular season championship. The Jackrabbits earned the No. 12 seed in last year's West Region, narrowly missing an upset over fifth-seeded Maryland in the first round, falling 79-74. Prior to that, SDSU earned the nickname "Cardiac Jacks" with a run through the conference tournament, pulling off three-point quarterfinal and one-point semifinal wins before earning the automatic bid with a 67-59 win over NDSU in the final. Mike Daum was named the tournament MVP and Deondre Parks was a member of the All-Tournament team.
