The country's top scorer is a 5-foot-9 dude on Central Michigan

Just over 25,000 people live in Mount Pleasant, Mich., an unassuming city located 155 miles from Detroit, and one of them just happens to be the best scorer in college basketball.

When thinking of great moments in Central Michigan history, one may recall the time Tim Allen wore a sweatshirt of the school on an episode of "Home Improvement," or the football team turning in one of the wildest finishes in recent history.

One doesn't think basketball powerhouse, but Marcus Keene is doing his best to change that.

The 5-foot-9 dynamo's theme song should be Lil Jon's "Shots," because once the star guard hits the court, there's a ton of them going up, and going in.

Keene is leading the country in scoring by pouring in an outrageous 30.7 points per contest, almost seven points more than the second-best scorer. Should he maintain his current pace, he will finish with the highest scoring average since 1991.

His assault on the record books has seen the Youngstown State transfer put up 14 games of 30-plus points, including five games of 40 or more this season.

Just in case you're wondering if five games of 40-plus points in one season is a significant number:

Ridiculous numbers aside, given that he's playing for a small school in Central Michigan, does any of this actually matter?

The Chippewas are currently in first place of the MAC's east division, with a real shot at the NCAA Tournament if they finish the season strong. You can be sure that no team in the country wants to face a prolific scorer like Keene in a one-game knockout.

Especially with a resume of game-clinching shots such as this one against Western Michigan:

Keene doesn't just put up points in absurd bunches, he does so with a swagger that is reminiscent of a stage performer playing to the crowd. This was on full display earlier this season against Green Bay, when he clinched the win for Central Michigan with a deep triple from well beyond the arc. Notice the incredibly awesome, yet completely unnecessary, spin move prior to pulling the trigger.

Somehow Keene was unranked as a member of the 2013 recruiting class, coming out of San Antonio without a major scholarship offer. He ended up at Youngstown State and averaged 6.5 points per game in his freshman season. After more than doubling that number to 15.6 points per contest in his sophomore season, he opted to transfer to Central Michigan, joining fellow high-scoring Texan Braylon Rayson.

Rayson is no slouch in his own right, scoring 20.7 points per contest for the Chippewas, a number that would be headline news on any other team in the country.

Not on Central Michigan however, as Keene's exploits have made the Chippewas must-watch television, when one can find their games on the dial.

Here's hoping the MAC program from Mount Pleasant makes the tournament, because the rest of the country deserves to watch the Marcus Keene show in all its glory.
