BROOKINGS, S.D. (GoJacks.com) — All 12 Jackrabbits who played got into the scoring column as South Dakota State (4-1) defeated Presentation (5-6), 99-62, Thursday night in Frost Arena.
The Jacks sank 18 threes and shot 56.5% from the floor, but even more impressively, recorded an assist on 26 of their 35 made field goals in the contest. Baylor Scheierman (6), Noah Freidel (5), David Wingett (5) and Alex Arians (4) all tallied at least four assists in the win.
Freidel and Douglas Wilson each finished with 14 points to lead a group of five Jackrabbits in double figures. Matt Dentlinger (12), Arians (11) and Zeke Mayo (10) rounded out the group.
Matt Mims earned his nine points on a 3-for-4 shooting performance from deep while Scheierman added nine points and seven rebounds to his six-assist night. Jaylon Gentry scored his first points as a Jackrabbit on a step-back jumper that eventually found its target after a friendly roll.
In total, eight Jackrabbits connected on a three-pointer as part of 51.4% shooting performance from beyond the arc.
Presentation shot 42% from the floor in the loss and was led in scoring by Ian Kelly and Denzel McDuffey who each finished with 11 points.
South Dakota State will take a quick trip down I-29 to Sioux Falls for the Crossover Classic taking place Monday-Wednesday at the Sanford Pentagon. The Jackrabbits will square off against Nevada, Washington and George Mason during the week.
