1/28/2019 2:00:00 PM | Men's Basketball
SIOUX FALLS – South Dakota State's Mike Daum collected his seventh Summit League Player of the Week award, announced Monday by the league office.
Â
Daum, who claimed the award for the second-straight week, tied his own single-season record (shared with Nate Wolters; 2012-13) for most weekly honors in a year. He already holds the Summit League's career record for most weekly awards with 18.
Â
The Kimball, Nebraska native averaged a monster double-double of 31.5 points and 16.5 rebounds over two games last week, helping the Jackrabbits go 2-0 and gain sole possession of first place in the league standings. Daum had 30 points and 17 rebounds against North Dakota State last Thursday and followed with a 33-point, 16-board performance against Omaha on Saturday.
Â
He rose to No. 17 on the NCAA's all-time scoring chart over the two games, passing Chris Clemons (active with Campbell), J.J. Redick (Duke) and Allan Houston (Tennessee). The 6-9 senior, now with 2,803 career points, has tallied 30 or points and 15-plus rebounds in three-consecutive games, becoming the first player in over 20 years to do so, according to StatsbySTATs on Twitter.
Â
The Jackrabbit big man was also selected as the Lute Olson Award National Player of the Week by CollegeInsider and the College Sports Madness Mid-Major National Player of the Week.
Â
The Jackrabbits hit the road this week for a pair of league contests, traveling to Oral Roberts on Thursday for a 7 p.m. tip before closing the weekend Sunday at Denver. Tipoff in the Mile-High City is set for 2 p.m. CST/1 p.m. MST.
