Double-Double is the Name of the Game

Black Hills State already has three individual double-doubles on the young season, with two coming from Fraser Malcolm and the other from Sam McCloud. The three double-doubles already triple the total from 2015-16, when Max Mueller notched the only double, double-digit performance. 

Fast Start

Redshirt freshman Sam McCloud earned his first career start against Yellowstone Christian College and collected a season-best 16 points and 16 rebounds. The 16 rebounds are a season-high and the most for an individual player in the NCAA-era. In fact, you'd have to go back to February 18, 2011, to find a bigger output of rebounds, when Will Johnson snagged 22 missed shots against Minot State. 

That's a Daily Double

After not securing a single double-double during his freshman campaign, Fraser Malcolm has now put together two performances of double-digit rebounds and points in three games. The sophomore leads the team with 9.0 rebounds per game while ranking second with 10.0 points per game. Malcolm achieved his first double-double of the year with 13 points and 13 rebounds at Texas A&M - Kingsville, and snagged his second with a 10-point, 12 rebound performance against Northern State. 

1,000-point watch

Although he won't join the Yellow Jacket 1,000-point club until he reaches the milestone in a Yellow Jacket uniform, Zach McLemore has a chance to reach 1,000 post high school points as he tallied 787 points at Colorado Christian, including 441 points as a sophomore. Through three games with BHSU, McLemore has tallied a career total of 849 points.
