South Dakota State travels south for a non-conference matchup on Saturday when the Jackrabbits take on Wichita State. The Jacks and Shockers are set to play off campus in downtown Wichita at INTRUST Bank Arena with tipoff set for 6 p.m.Â
Â
SDSU had a three-game win streak halted on Tuesday at home in an 82-73 defeat to Kent State. The Golden Flashes got out to a 20-point lead in the first half, thanks to a 50% clip shooting from the field and 3-point range, and went into halftime with a 41-27 advantage. The Jackrabbits cut into the deficit and had the margin to a single possession on multiple occasions, but Kent State held off the SDSU comeback bid. Kent State improved to 6-3 overall while South Dakota State dropped to 4-5.
Â
The Jackrabbits were led in scoring in the contest by Charlie Easley and William Kyle III. Easley had 17 points thanks to going 5-for-10 from deep. He registered his sixth multiple steal game of the year with four, while his five assists marked his second straight contest leading SDSU in the category. Kyle III had 16 points by going 7-for-7 from the floor. The sophomore forward has been stellar the last three times out. He's went 20-24 (83.3%) shooting and scored 43 points across 65 minutes played.
Â
Preseason all-conference honorees in Zeke Mayo and Luke Appel continue to lead the Jackrabbits in scoring through nine games. Mayo, the Preseason Player of the Year and All-Summit League First Team choice, averages 17.9 points along with team leading marks in rebounds (6.7) and assists (3.0). Appel, another First Team choice in the preseason, is averaging a career-high 12.1 points. Kyle III was a Second Team All-League preseason selection.Â
Â
South Dakota State will be playing its second non-conference game this season in the state of Kansas on Saturday. The Jacks previously fell to Kansas State in Manhattan on Nov. 13, 91-68. The Jacks face the Shockers for their fourth all-time meeting. Wichita State holds a 3-0 record over SDSU. The Shockers and Jacks met back-to-back years in 2016 and 2017 with Wichita State earning 89-67 and 95-85 victories, respectively.Â
Â
The Shockers are 7-2 in their first season under head coach Paul Mills, who guided Oral Roberts the previous six seasons. The Shockers rank seventh in the nation in rebounding with 45.3 boards per game and 26th in field goal defense (38.2%).
