After overcoming a 19-0 start by the Texas Longhorns last week, the South Dakota State Jackrabbits took a three-point lead at the under-eight timeout at the Erwin Center in the NIT’s first round.
The hard-earned lead for the visiting team came in emphatic fashion, as three-time reigning Summit League Player of the Year Mike Daum slammed home a thunderous dunk in transition following a turnover by Texas senior guard Kerwin Roach II.
In front of less than 2,000 fans in the stands and with a sense of palpable tension in the air, freshman guard Courtney Ramey walked to the Longhorns huddle during an ensuing timeout.
