BROOKINGS, S.D. -- Mike Daum grabbed 14 rebounds and scored 35 points on 14-of-24 shooting, and South Dakota State beat Drake 87-74 on Tuesday night.
It's the fifth time Daum has scored 30 points this season and the second time in as many games. The 6-9 forward is the nation's highest-scoring junior. His career high is 51 points and 10 3-pointers.
Drake twice closed to within nine points after Nick McGlynn opened the second half with a jumper and layup, but Daum hit a layup and a 3 amid an 8-0 run and the Jackrabbits pulled ahead.
