Maryland first-round NCAA Tournament opponent South Dakota State has a solid team top to bottom, enough so that it brings its clear best player, Mike Daum, off the bench.
Daum, a 6'9, 245-pound power forward, is the team's best offensive player and one of its best on defense. He scores 15.2 points per game on an extremely efficient 56 percent shooting and grabs 6.1 rebounds in just 20.5 minutes per night.
The redshirt freshman from Kimball, Neb., was named the Summit League's Sixth Man of the Year and took Freshman of the Year award as well. He's put together a strong resume in a short period of time.
