Box Score

South Dakota State men's basketball picked up an 82-63 exhibition victory over South Dakota Mines Thursday night at Frost Arena.

The Jackrabbits had three players in double figures, led by Mike Daum's 29 points. Skyler Flatten added 17 points and Tevin King scored 12.

Matt Dentlinger pulled down a game-high 12 boards and scored seven points.

South Dakota Mines was led by Logan Elers, who finished with 17 points and seven rebounds.

Tied at 20 just past the under-12 media mark of the opening half, SDSU pulled away briefly with an 11-0 run that included back-to-back 3s from Daum and King, only to see SD Mines bury a pair of treys on the other end of the court to keep things close.

Ahead 44-39 at the break, State built a 13-point cushion over the first 10 minutes of the half before a burst of eight straight put the Jacks ahead 21 (74-53) with eight minutes to play. Although SD Mines stopped the run, they would come no closer than 17 the rest of the way as SDSU closed out the win.
