STAT of the DAY (Feb. 5th)

Haven’t been keeping up on my STAT of the DAY routine I made somewhat, well, routine, back earlier in the season.

But here’s Thursday’s quirky stat…

Ben Woodside of North Dakota State, arguably the best player in the Summit League and a guy who scored 60 earlier in the season, shot a perfect 0-12 from the field against Western Illinois. To Ben’s credit, he did have 6 assists and 3 steals, but that 0′fer is cooky.

Not even close to being cookier than Woodside’s “off” night was the final score, a 61-52 victory on the road for the North Dakota State Bison (17-5, 11-1), the favorites to represent the Summit league in the Big Dance.

Best player can’t hit a shot, no problem, the Bison are ready to bust your butt anyway.

Look out 12 and 13 seeds, you don’t want to face this group.
