SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – For the second time in three weeks, South Dakota State guard Zeke Mayo secured the TicketSmarter #SummitMBB Peak Performer of the Week award, League officials announced Monday. Mayo averaged 26.3 ppg in a trio of Jackrabbit victories as SDSU moved into sole possession of second place in the League standings.
Mayo opened his week with a 24-point performance, that included a pair of go-ahead free throws with 12 seconds to play, lifting the Jackrabbits to a 67-66 road win at Kansas City. The sophomore went 4-for-7 from deep against the Roos and added five rebounds.
In a 96-73 home win over North Dakota, Mayo registered his third double-double of the season, finishing with 14 points, 10 rebounds and six assists.
Mayo closed out his week by scoring a career-high 41 points in a 90-85 victory over North Dakota State. Mayo went 14-for-25 from the field and 6-for-9 from 3-point range, while dishing out five assists to go with zero turnovers.
