South Dakota State got another balanced offensive attack in turning a back-and-forth game into another blowout at Frost Arena on Sunday, as the Jackrabbits downed UC Santa Barbara 86-68 for their 21st consecutive home win.  

The Jackrabbits improve to 9-1, while the visiting Gauchos fall to 2-5.  

After 11 first half lead changes and three ties, SDSU took the lead for good on a pair of Mike Daum free throws with 6 minutes, 40 seconds left in the opening stanza, and then added an 8-0 run later in the frame, highlighted by a pair of Deondre Parks 3-pointers, to take a 51-42 lead into halftime.  

The defensive adjustments at halftime by SDSU worked in holding the Gauchos to 32.1 percent shooting in the second half, 9 of 28, while the Jacks continued to shoot at a solid pace of 50 percent, 12 of 24.  

Parks led all players in the game with 23 points, with Daum adding 15, Jake Bittle 14 and Keaton Moffitt a career-high 11 points in his second straight start. Moffitt also led the Jackrabbits with eight rebounds and with six assists.
