Ben Woodside, a fifth-year senior for the North Dakota State Bison, averaged an impressive 22 points and six assists per game this season. He also shot an ungodly 42 percent from beyond the arc. This past weekend, he hit a 17-footer against Oakland in the Summit Conference tournament championship to put the Bison into the NCAA tournament for the first time, in the school's inaugural year in Division I competition. Woodside even had a walk-on role on this here blog earlier this year, after he dropped 60 points in a triple-OT loss to Stephen F. Austin.
Woodside and his No. 14- seeded Bison take on the number three seed Kansas Jayhawks in the first round of the Midwest region, in Minneapolis, Woodside's home state, and a manageable drive, I've been told, from the NDSU campus.
You've been warned.
