Mike Daum represented South Dakota State at the 31st annual State Farm College Slam Dunk & 3-Point Championships at Minneapolis’ Target Center on Thursday night, scoring 14 points to finish in a three-way tie for fifth in the competition.
Daum tallied 14 total points in the event, hitting 12 3-pointers (including a pair of money balls). Tabbed as one of the top eight 3-point shooting seniors in college basketball this season, he is the first Jackrabbit to compete in the college 3-point championship. Loyola’s Clayton Custer won the men’s event.
One of the most decorated players in Division I history, Daum became the 10th player ever to enter the 1,000-point club on Feb. 23, 2019; he ended his career seventh all-time with 3,067 points. Among his many accolades: three-time Summit League Player of the Year, 2018-19 USBWA Third-Team All-American, three-time AP Honorable Mention All-American and first-ever Summit League player to be named a consensus All-American.
