Huge night from Daum leads SDSU to 24th straight home victory

Mike Daum scored 26 points and pulled down 18 rebounds, Alex Arians added 11 points and 10 boards for his first career double-double and South Dakota State led wire-to-wire defeating UMKC 75-47 Wednesday night.

Four players reached double-digit scoring for South Dakota State with Skyler Flatten adding 11 points and Tevin King 10. The Jackrabbits (6-2) pushed their home win streak to a national-best 24 straight.

South Dakota State raced out to an 8-0 lead, was up 45-30 at the half and pushed the lead to 19, 51-32, in the first three minutes after the break. Even a seven-minute span without a field goal didn’t threaten the lead. Daum drove for a layup with 11 minutes remaining, sending the Jackrabbits on a 17-2 run over the next four minutes to lead by 30.

South Dakota State shot 49 percent, 28 for 57, and dominated the boards, 46-29, outscoring the Kangaroos 42-18 in the paint.

Xavier Bishop led UMKC (1-7) with 11 points and four assists.
