BROOKINGS, S.D. — South Dakota State plays its final non-conference home game of the 2023 portion of its schedule on Thursday when the Jackrabbits take on Mayville State in Frost Arena. Tip-off between the Jacks and Comets is scheduled for 7 p.m.
Â
SDSU and Mayville State meets for their 14th matchup in the all-time series. The Jackrabbits own a 13-0 record which dates back to the 1950s when both programs competed at the NAIA level.Â
Â
The Jackrabbits are 5-5 overall heading into the contest in Brookings. The Comets are 10-2 overall and have a common exhibition opponent of SDSU's in the University of Mary, which Mayville State fell to in Bismarck on Nov. 15, 81-72.Â
Â
Mayville State is coming off a 25-6 season that saw the Comets claim both their conference regular season and tournament titles en route to an NAIA national tournament appearance.Â
Â
South Dakota State returned to Brookings following a 79-69 victory over Wichita State at INTRUST Bank Arena in downtown Wichita on Saturday. The Jackrabbits topped the now 7-3 Shockers for the first time in the two sides' fourth all-time meeting.Â
Â
The Jackrabbits were led in scoring in the contest by Zeke Mayo and Kalen Garry. Mayo scored a game-high 25 points to go along with a season-high seven assists. His 20-point effort was his fifth of the season and 14th of his college career. Garry scored a career-high 22 points by going 8 of 12 from the field. His point total was the most by a freshman since Feb. 2 of the 2022-23 slate when Matthew Mors registered 23 in a home victory over North Dakota.Â
Â
The win over the Shockers proved to be one of the Jackrabbits' top performances in multiple facets as a team yet this year. SDSU recorded season highs in three-pointers made (12), assists (15) and free throw percentage (84.6%) in the contest. Defensively, the Jacks held the Shockers to their lowest field goal percentage of the season (31.4%).Â
Â
Nearly five Jackrabbits average double digits in scoring. Leading the way are Mayo (18.6), William Kyle III (11.3), Luke Appel (11.1) and Charlie Easley (11.0), while Garry narrowly trails at 9.5. Easley ranks 12th in the country in steals per game (2.8) and 18th in assist/turnover ratio (3.5).
