South Dakota State scored a basketball doubleheader victory Thursday as the Jackrabbit men’s and women’s squads completed their exhibition schedule.
The Jackrabbit men shook off a sluggish start in its lone exhibition game of the 2016-17 season with a strong second half to take down South Dakota Mines, 85-64, at Frost Arena on Thursday night.
Reed Tellinghuisen posted a 23-point, 11-rebound double-double alongside his team-leading four assists and three blocks, and Mike Daum led the team in scoring with 27 points, thanks in part to a 13-of-14 effort from the charity stripe as the team captains combined for 50 of SDSU’s points.
Andre Wallace finished in double figures as well, finishing with 10 points off the bench.
The SDSU women’s basketball team allowed only 17 second-half points as the Jackrabbits recorded a 78-45 exhibition win over Dakota Wesleyan.
The Jackrabbits are now 20-0 all-time in exhibition games since moving to the NCAA Division I level.
Junior Macy Miller‘s game-high 16 points led SDSU. Sophomore Madison Guebert and junior Ellie Thompson each added 13 points.
