Previewing the Game
South Dakota State heads back on the road Tuesday to face Wichita State. Tipoff from Koch Arena in Wichita, Kansas is set for 7 p.m.
The Jackrabbits are coming off a 73-53 neutral site loss against Missouri State Saturday as their four-game win streak came to an end. Prior to that contest at the Sanford Pentagon, the Jacks had picked up wins over Ole Miss, Dakota State, Buffalo and Iowa over the last two weeks.
Wichita State has won two straight, taking down No. 16 Baylor and Savannah State last week. The Shockers' only loss came to Notre Dame in the Maui Jim Maui Invitational Finals last month.
This marks the second straight season the Jackrabbits and Shockers have faced off, with Wichita State holding a 2-0 lead in the all-time series. SDSU dropped an 89-67 contest to WSU last season on Dec. 22 in a game that saw Mike Daum go for 20. Prior to that, the teams last played in 1977.
About South Dakota State
The Jackrabbits are 7-3 to start the year for the fifth time at the Division I level and have won four straight, including a pair of wins over Power Five opponents Iowa and Ole Miss. The record through 10 games is SDSU's best start to a season since 2015-16, when the team won nine of its first 10.
South Dakota State entered the 2017-18 campaign as the Summit League's preseason top pick after earning the league's automatic bid a year ago to the NCAA Tournament. The Jackrabbits return four starters and eight letterwinners from a year ago, with seven newcomers on the roster.
The Summit League Preseason Player of the Year Mike Daum is the nation's top returning scorer and is off to another strong start, averaging a team-best 18.8 points per game and 7.7 rebounds per contest. He has three double-doubles on the campaign and has reached double figures in nine of 10 contests, including two of his 14 career 30-point games and five of his 37 career 30-point games. Daum scored 10 or more points in 23 straight games between Jan. 21 and Dec. 2, 2017.
Freshmen David Jenkins Jr. has established himself as a go-to scorer early in his college career, sitting second on the team with 14.2 points per game and eight double-digit scoring performances. He has twice led the team in scoring (13 against UCI and 23 against Iowa) and is shooting 41.6 percent from the field this season. He has three 20-point games as well, including a 22-point effort against Ole Miss, and leads the team with 25 made 3-pointers. Jenkins led the team with eight overtime points against the Rebels and scored the final six points in the extra period, providing a dagger with 10.6 seconds remaining to seal the win.
Reed Tellinghuisen has raised his averaged to 11.9 points per game over the last two weeks, hitting double figures in five of the last seven contests, including a 19-point game against Ole Miss where he drilled five 3-pointers.
Tevin King is second on the team with 61 total rebounds (6.1 per game) and is averaging 8.5 points per contest. He has already matched his 3-point total from last season, going 7-for-18 beyond the arc while shooting 51.7 percent from the field with four double figure scoring performances. King has split time at point guard with Brandon Key (4.4 assists, 6.0 points per game) and is second on the team with 22 total assists.
Lane Severyn has been clutch from 3-point range over the last six games, going 6-for-7 from deep in that span while raising his field goal percentage to a team-best 61.1 percent.
The Jackrabbits are scoring 78.4 points per game and have broken the 90-point barrier in three of the last four games. SDSU is plus-5.6 in scoring margin and has outrebounded opponents by 5.1 boards on average.

A South Dakota State Win Would ...
Make SDSU 8-3 on the season ... give State a 1-2 record all-time against Wichita State ... make Otzelberger 26-20 at South Dakota State ... move the Jackrabbits to 1,491-1,027-1 all-time.
A South Dakota State Loss Would ...
Put the Jacks at 7-4 ... put the all-time series with WSU at 3-0 in the Shockers favor ... make Otzelberger 25-21 at South Dakota State ... move SDSU to 1,490-1,028-1 all-time.
Tough Tests
South Dakota State's win over Ole Miss Nov. 28 was the second Power Five win for the Jackrabbits this season and third of four match-ups against teams from the ACC, SEC, Big 10, Big 12 or Pac-12 this season. SDSU faced Kansas Nov. 17, picked up a win over Iowa Nov. 21 and will take on Colorado in December.
South Dakota State has seven wins over Power Five programs since joining The Summit League in 2007, picking up wins over Iowa State (2008), Iowa (2010 and 2017), Washington (2011), TCU (2015), Minnesota (2015) and Ole Miss (2017).
SDSU's wins over Iowa and Ole Miss this season came in the shortest time frame of any Summit League team since 1998 (seven days). The Jackrabbits are the fifth league team to post a win over separate Power Five conferences in the same regular season, and the first to do it since 2009.
The Jacks also have a meeting set with current-No. 8 Wichita State, a member of the American Athletic Conference, in December.
Jacks Remain 14th in Mid-Major Poll
The Jackrabbits are 14th in the latest addition of the College Sports Madness Mid-Major Top 25 for the second straight week, released Nov. 27 by the organization. The Jacks were 14th in the preseason poll and moved up to 13th in the second edition before sliding back to the 14th spot, where the squad currently sits.
The latest edition of the poll features 2017-18 opponents Missouri State (No. 18), Buffalo (receiving votes), South Dakota (RV), UC Irvine (RV), Drake (RV) and North Dakota (RV).
Jacks Fifth at Cayman Islands Classic
South Dakota State took fifth at the inaugural Cayman Islands Classic, closing the tournament with wins over Iowa and Buffalo after falling in its first game to Wyoming.
Reed Tellinghuisen was named to the Cayman Classic All-Tournament Team, averaging 12.7 points and 4.0 rebounds per game. Mike Daum led all Jackrabbits with 54 total points at the tournament, hitting double figures all three games, including a season-best 34 against Buffalo.
David Jenkins Jr. shot 41.2 percent (7 of 17) beyond the arc, adding 14.7 points and 4.7 rebounds per game while Tevin King, playing 26.3 minutes per game, dished out five assists, came up with eight steals, scored 31 points (10.3 ppg) and grabbed 17 rebounds (5.7 per game).
No. 12 Cincinnati won the tournament, beating Wyoming in the finals.
Preseason All-Conference Team; Jacks Picked First
Mike Daum and Reed Tellinghuisen made repeat appearances on the Summit League's Preseason All-League teams, announced early-October. Daum was the Preseason Player of the Year with First Team honors while Tellinghuisen picked a Second Team nod for the second straight season.
Daum is the second Jackrabbit to be named Preseason All-Conference and the first to do it twice, joining Nate Wolters (2012-13).
As a team, South Dakota State was picked to win the league for the fourth time in program history.
Let It Rain
South Dakota State's 3-point offense ranks among the nation's best for the second-straight season, as the team sits fifth in 3-pointers made and eighth in 3-point attempts in the Dec. 3 stats release. The Jacks are 28th in the NCAA with 10.4 3-pointers per game and their 39.0 long range shooting percentage is 57th in Division I.
Last season, the Jacks had three players that hit 60 or more 3-pointers last season, including two returners in Mike Daum (79) and Reed Tellinghuisen (74). That duo ranked 13th nationally among active returning duos in combined 3-pointers from a year-ago. State has three already with 20 or more 3-pointers this year: David Jenkins Jr. (25), Mike Daum (22) and Reed Tellinghuisen (20) and all rank amongst the nation's best (see page four of the game notes).
Through 10 games last season, SDSU was 91-for-256 beyond the arc. This year, the Jacks are 104-for-267 from long distance.
Nov. 28 saw the Jackrabbits reset the school's Division I record for 3-pointers made and attempted in a game for the third (makes) and fourth (attempts) time, going 18-for-41 beyond the arc.
Since the arrival of T.J. Otzelberger, the Jacks now hold all of the top five spots in the record book for 3-pointers made in a Division I game, and hold all but one of the spots in the top five of attempts.
SDSU Signs Three
Owen King, Aaron Fiegen and Matthew Mimms signed their National Letters of Intent to join South Dakota State, announced Nov. 11 on National Signing Day.
- King (Caledonia, Minnesota) averaged 19 points, five rebounds and six assists per game as a junior for Caledonia High School. He enters his senior season as the school's all-time leading scorer (1,925 points)
- Fiegen (Madison, South Dakota) was a First Team All-State pick last year, averaging 15.5 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game in 2016-17.
- Mimms (Fairfax, Iowa) is a two-time Iowa State Champion with Xavier High School. He averaged 15.5 points, five assists and 2.3 steals per game as a junior.
#FearFrost
The Jacks own a 78-5 record at Frost Arena over the last six seasons dating back to 2011-12, which includes perfect home records in four of the last five years entering the current season. That span includes two home winning streaks of 30 or more games.
- South Dakota State won 34 consecutive games from Jan. 30, 2014 to Dec. 28, 2016. It ended as the nation's second longest active streak.

Tacoma Talent
Tacoma, Washington native David Jenkins Jr. has burst on the scene through his first month of collegiate basketball, racking up 142 points and a team-leading 25 3-pointers through nine games. He has hit at least two 3-pointers in eight contests.
The lone West coach native on the Jackrabbit roster has reached double figures in eight of his first 10 games, becoming the first freshman to accomplish the feat at SDSU since Steve Holdren did it in 2004-05.
Jenkins and Holdren are also the only two Jackrabbit freshmen to lead the team in scoring in their first collegiate game over the last 17 years (dating back to 2000-01 when game-by-game stats were readily available).
Jenkins is second on the team with a 14.2 points per game average in 2017-18 and has shot 41.7 percent from long distance.
He is on pace to challenge Mike Daum's freshman scoring record of 518 points, set in 2015-16. Through nine games that season, Daum had 105 points compared to Jenkins' 142.
Jenkins scored over 2,000 points in his high school career before spending a year at Sunrise Christian Academy Prep School. He was named as a newcomer to watch in The Summit League by TheAthletic.com's John Rohde.
Pointing The Way
Tevin King and Brandon Key have shared the point guard role through nine games this season, complimenting each other and helping the team rank 43rd nationally with 141 total assists through 10 games.
Key has a team-high 41 assists (4.4 per game) to go with a 6.0 scoring average. He posted his first double-figure scoring game against Dakota State, and has dished three or more assists on seven occasions this season, including a pair of seven-assist efforts against Alabama State and DSU.
King has 22 assists and is averaging 8.5 points per contest while leading the team with 12 steals. The Chicago, Illinois native has already hit six 3-pointers compared to his total of seven from a year ago, and through 10 games is hitting at a clip of 51.6 percent from the field. He has four double figure scoring games this season.
