- Picked to win the Summit League this season. They’re normally automatically always picked in the top 3 no matter what, but it looks pretty serious this season, and other Summit League teams might even just mail in their season.
- The Jackrabbits will face two preseason top 10 teams: #4 Kansas and #7 Wichita State
- The Jackrabbits are ranked 14th in the Preseason Mid Major Top 25
- Freshman guard David Jenkins Jr. was listed as a 3 star recruit on ESPN. Jenkins held offers from Montana, Boise State, and St. Mary’s. Jenkins scored 16 points in an exhibition game against South Dakota School of Mines.
- Name an Award. Odds are Mike Daum is on the preseason watch list for the award.
- Out of all Summit League fan bases, their fans get the most offended if you make fun of them or the state of South Dakota.
- Mike Daum is the nation’s returning leading scorer. So that is why no one cares at all about the other 7 basketball teams in the Summit League this season.
- Assistant Coach Ben Walker played basketball at Creighton, and is in the Creighton Athletic Hall of Fame. So, you know, just one more reason for Maverick fans to dislike the Jackrabbits.
