Ben Woodside, North Dakota State. The Bison earned a conference home in the Summit League this summer, but lost their coach to the power conferences when lucky penny-carrier Tim Miles left for Colorado State. No matter, replacement Saul Phillips is doing a fine job in his stead, opening the season with a 3-2 record. Besides, he's got a 5-11 dynamo for another two years, one who added to a legacy of great road performances last night.

Last night at Tennessee Tech in an opening round game of the Blue Ribbon Challenge (not brought to you by these guys), Woodside went boom all over the host Golden Eagles in a 90-72 win. The pride of Albert Lea, Minn. made 11 of his 17 shots from the floor, all but one of his 14 freebies, and ended with a career-high 39 points.

That's the second-highest scoring total in D-I so far this season (the top performance, ironically, was a 43-pointer put in by Miles' new protegé Marcus Walker at CSU). Folks over the age of two might also remember his heroic showing at Wisconsin on Jan. 21, 2006, when he nailed half his shots for 24 points in a 62-55 shocker.
