South Dakota State standouts Mike Daum and Macy Miller are the Summit League basketball Players of the Week.
Daum, who earned the award for the eighth time this season, opened the week with a monster 38-point, 20-rebound double-double in the Jackrabbits’ victory over Purdue Fort Wayne. He followed that with a 25-point showing against in-state rival South Dakota.
One of just 10 NCAA Division I players to score 3,000 in a career, the Kimball, Nebraska native has been named as the Summit League’s weekly award winner 18 times as a Jackrabbit. Both his single-season and career totals for Player of the Week honors rank first in Summit League history.
For the second time this season and 11th time in her career, Miller earned the women’s weekly honor.
The senior guard averaged a team-leading 20.0 points, 6.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game while shooting 55.0 percent from the field and 66.7 percent from 3-point range and was 16 of 19 from the free-throw line in two wins.
