Fantasy College Hoops: Update - Week 1

[Monday] Booo Joel on Evan Turner: "He's just too up and down. He never had big games when I put him in." Well, it seems the leader of the Buckeyes got the message... too bad Booo Joel didn't keep him. Evan Turner (14pts, 17reb, 10ast, 2blk, 2stl) tipped this season off with a triple-double that should make the rest of the league do a triple-take. He became only the second Buckeye to do so (Dennis Hopson, 1986) and appears to have POTW honors wrapped up already. The game of the week between Chalmers Chiefers and Crimson & Bluebloods got started early, as the Tarheels' Deon Thompson (20pts, 10reb, 3stl) and Ed Davis (13pts, 11reb, 2ast, 4blk, 1stl) posted double-doubles. In the late game, Wesley Johnson (12pts, 8reb, 4ast, 6stl) helped Syracuse bounce back from their embarrassing exhibition loss to Le Moyne last week. [Wednesday] Last night featured a couple of Golden Bears during their matchup with Detroit. Jerome Randle (22pts, 2reb, 3ast), Rivals' preseason Pac-10 player of the year, had 16 points in the first half. While head coach Mike Montgomery covered the -18 spread easily, cruising to a 95-61 win. [Friday] Patrick Patterson (20pts, 12reb, 1ast, 1blk) made John Calipari's debut in Lexington a success, a 75-59 win over Morehead St. Speaking of successful debuts, Xavier Henry (27pts, 5reb, 2ast, 1blk, 1stl) broke the Kansas freshman scoring record, while draining five three-pointers. Tyler Smith (14pts, 11reb, 4ast, 1blk, 2stl) ran a little bit of point-forward for Tennessee in their win over Austin Peay. Penn State's one-man-show, Talor Battle (27pts, 10reb, 4ast) picked up right where he left off last season. With the NCAA's all-time blocks record within reach, Jarvis Varnado (22pts, 14reb, 2ast, 7blk) won't be taking any prisoners this year. He was a perfect 8-8 from the floor. And after a much needed offseason in the weight room, Georgetown's Greg Monroe (18pts, 11reb, 2ast, 2blk, 2stl) muscled his way past Tulane. Fantasy College Hoops looks to be the only saving grace for Landry Fields (25pts, 9reb, 1ast, 1blk, 5stl). He will likely be an elite player in this league, but Stanford will be lucky to win more than ten games all year. After losing a significant percentage of scoring from a year ago, Connecticut didn't have to look very far for a replacement. Jerome Dyson (27pts, 3reb, 8ast, 1blk, 4stl) should cool any nerves for the fans in Storrs. It's common knowledge that the nation's streakiest shooter resides in Waco. But WGP clearly picked the right game for LaceDarius Dunn (32pts, 1reb, 1ast, 2stl) who went 10-16 from the floor. And after not making a roster last season, Georgia's Trey Thompkins (25pts, 12reb, 1ast, 3blk, 1stl) played with a chip on his shoulder. [Saturday] On a day that saw 8 of 11 players reach at least a double-double, the point totals were through the roof. The scoring was fast and furious, and Manny Harris (18pts, 13reb, 10ast, 1stl) was to blame, once again. There's nothing better than starting the season with a monster triple-double. As another non-roster player from a year ago, James Anderson (22pts, 15reb, 1ast, 1blk, 1stl) currently ranks in the top 10 in scoring thus far. The freshman behemoth nicknamed "Tiny", Keith Gallon (18pts, 15reb, 2ast, 1blk) put up some gigantic numbers in his Sooner debut. [Sunday] With Gordon Bombay needing a solid performance out of his best player, Damion James (21pts, 15reb, 2ast, 1blk) shut the door on Maria Koppen. With the outcome hanging in the balance, Da'Sean Butler (26pts, 7reb, 5ast, 1stl) put up some big time numbers when WGP needed it most. Click the link below for a look at the current scoreboard:
