Jackrabbits' Last Time Out -- Nov. 26, 2016
  SIOUX FALLS, S.D. -- South Dakota State men's basketball put together another strong defensive effort but was hampered by 20 turnovers on the offensive end in a 71-59 loss to East Tennessee State at the Sanford Pentagon Showcase.
   SDSU (1-6) held ETSU (4-1) to just 38 points in half-court offense, but a 33-8 advantage in points off turnovers proved to be the difference. The Jackrabbits shot 37 percent from the field as a team and hit eight of 24 on 3-pointers.Â
  Mike Daum posted his second consecutive double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds, adding two assists over 36 minutes. A.J. Hess dropped 16 points with four 3-pointers and Reed Tellinghuisen added 15 points with five rebounds. Tevin King led the team with four assists.
  ETSU's T.J. Cromer hit a pair of 3-pointers in the opening minute to put SDSU in an early hole, but a give-and-go, two-handed slam by Tellinghuisen from Ian Theisen got the Jacks on the scoreboard on their second possession. From there, SDSU and ETSU did not hit a field goal for nearly three minutes and A.J. Hess' free throws were the only points scored until Devontavius Payne had a 3-pointer just past the 16-minute mark, making it 9-4 in the Bucs' favor.
  ETSU built its lead to 10 (14-4) before the under-12 media, and out of the pause Daum had a putback layup for to end an 8-0 ETSU run and score SDSU's first points in over four minutes. That lead hovered near 10 points the rest of the half, though the Jacks made a strong push with five unanswered to cut it to 21-16 at 5:14 after a 3-pointer from Tellinghuisen. The Bucs, however, recovered with six straight of their own inside three minutes before the break.Â
  At the half, SDSU trailed 33-22 as all of the Jackrabbit points were scored by Daum (nine points), Hess (eight points) and Tellinghuisen (five points).
  Both teams were plagued by turnovers in the first with 10 apiece, though ETSU capitalized with 15 points off of turnovers compared to SDSU's five points in that category in the opening 20 minutes.
  South Dakota State opened the second half with four answered to bring the Jacks back within seven, 33-26, at 17:57, but ETSU scored 12 straight from there to stretch the Jacks' deficit back to double digits. During that stretch, a chaotic scene saw three technical fouls (two on SDSU) issued after a jump ball situation with the Jackrabbits on defense, as physical play increased and both teams reached the bonus soon after, setting up the potential for a free throw battle over the final 14 minutes of play.
   SDSU saw its largest deficit reach 26 (60-34) at 10:13 before clawing back to within 10 (52-62) at 4:05 thanks to a 17-2 run that ended with 11 straight for the Jacks. That burst, however, wasn't enough as the ETSU lead was too much to overcome late in the game.
Panthers' Last Time Out -- Nov. 26, 2016
(MKEPanthers.com)
  SIOUX FALLS, S.D. - The Milwaukee men's basketball team turned to its defense Saturday, setting a school record for fewest points allowed against an NCAA Division I opponent in claiming a 54-37 victory over UC Irvine at the Sanford Pentagon Showcase.
  The Panthers (2-3) led the Anteaters (3-3) from start to finish with an impressive showing, also holding their opponents to near-record outputs in lowest field-goal percentage allowed and fewest made field goals in a game.
   Brock Stull led the offense with 11 points, adding four rebounds and three assists. Brett Prahl played a key role down the stretch, ending the afternoon with career-highs when he finished with 10 points and six rebounds.
  August Haas had nine points and four steals, finishing with six assists to just one turnover. Cody Wichmann chipped in six points and eight boards.
  Turnovers played a crucial role in the game. The Panthers forced a season-best 22 turnovers while giving the ball away 12 times themselves. That translated into a 24-10 advantage in points off turnovers.
  The defense was terrific. The 18 points allowed in the first half was the lowest since giving up just 15 in the first half against Wright State in January of 2015.
  The Panthers limited the Anteaters to a 25.6 percent (11-for-43) showing from the floor on the day, the fourth-lowest for a game in program history since UWM went NCAA Division I in 1990-91. UC Irvine made just 11 field goals in the contest, the third-lowest mark in the record book. They also went 1-for-14 from three-point range (7.1 percent).
  After a slow first half from the field, the Panther offense woke up in second half and scored nine of the first 13 points out of the locker room to force a UCI timeout with the lead growing to 38-22 at the 15:19 mark.
  Milwaukee kept a firm grip on the game and the lead from there and put it away just later. A 10-2 run grew the lead from 17 to 25 with about five minutes to play. Prahl was huge in the spree, netting six including a tip-in that made in 54-29.
  From there, the only thing left to determine were UWM's chances at the record books. In fact, the Anteater basket at the 4:05 mark snapped a drought of 9:37 on the clock where the Panthers held them without a made field goal of any kind.
  The Panthers played an outstanding first half of defense, holding the Anteaters those 18 points on 26.3 percent (5-of-19) shooting from the floor. The lead at the midway point was 29-18 and could have been more, but UWM had numerous shots go in-and-out, shooting under 40 percent (11-of-30) themselves.
  Milwaukee came out quick on the day, grabbing a 9-2 lead by the first media timeout on the strength of three's by Haas and Stull. Despite a cold start from the floor, UWM pushed its advantage to 11-7 and then used a 7-2 spurt to take the 16-7 at the 10:24 mark.
   The lead was extended to 22-9 on back-to-back 3's by Stull and, following an 8-2 spurt by UC Irvine, had the advantage back to double-digits on a triple by Haas with just over a minute to go before the halftime horn.

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. Theisen started all 34 games last season and put up averages of 6.1 points and 3.4 rebounds. King started two games, played in 34 and led the team with with 27 steals. Flatten has battled injuries but enters 2016-17 healthy. He last played in 2014-15 where he played in 31 games as a reserve. Severyn played in 27 games last season. Three redshirt freshmen, Adam Dykman, Beau Brown and Cole Gentry enter the season with the chance to compete for spots as well. The Jacks feature several new faces expected to contend for playing time, including A.J. Hess and Michael Orris, a pair of graduate transfers from Southern Utah and Northern Illinois, respectively. 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. For the regular season, SDSU posted its second consecutive undefeated home record while three players garnered All-Conference honors in addition to other national awards. Mike Daum was named the Summit League Freshman and Sixth Man of the Year in addition to earning spots on the All-Conference First Team and the All-Newcomer Team. George Marshall was an All-Conference First Team selection and Deondre Parks claimed an honorable mention nod. On the national level, Marshall and Parks earned NABC Division I All-District 12 honors with First and Second Team nods, respectively, and Daum was named a Kyle Macy All-American. After the season, longtime head coach Scott Nagy resigned after completing his 21st season at the helm.
