Dax Crum to Appear On ESPN2’s First Take

CEDAR CITY, Utah, Feb. 11 – Southern Utah University basketball player Dax Crum, who is a scholarship Division I athlete despite being born without a right hand, will appear live on ESPN First Take Tuesday morning.

The program runs daily on ESPN2 and ESPN2 HD from 8-10 a.m. (Mountain). Crum's segment is scheduled to air at approximately 9:40 a.m.

First Ron Hunter, now Dax Crum. The Summit League is getting some good PR of late. I have to admit...I didn't even pay any attention to Crum when I saw him play a couple weeks ago. He came in toward the end of the IUPUI game at Indy on 31 Jan (The Jags won 88-66). He took a three-point shot later in the second half. I turned to the SID and said, "boy, he's got a weird release!"

"That's because he's missing a hand," retorted the SID, in an are you an idiot?? tone. Obviously, I am. I didn't even pay any attention to that. To Crum's credit, he scored five points in that game.
