Fantasy College Hoops: Update - Week 3

[Monday] The game of the week between Chalmers Chiefers and Paul Rudd > Ashley Judd just got a lot more interesting. Mac Koshwal sat out DePaul's consolation game against St. Joseph's, nursing an injured foot. We'll see if this comes back and bite the current league leader. Newly acquired Marcus Ginyard (8pts, 5reb, 6ast, 3stl) did a little bit of everything in North Carolina's 93-72 blowout win over Gardner-Webb. It wasn't a big scoring night, but the highest point total belonged to E'Twaun Moore (22pts, 3reb, 3ast, 1blk) who helped lead the Boilermakers to a 1-point victory over Tennessee, while being named MVP of the Paradise Jam. With Tyler Smith (10pts, 4reb, 3ast) a non-factor, Purdue battled and paddled in a highly physical contest. [Tuesday] Well, he did it again... Evan Turner (16pts, 10reb, 11ast, 3blk, 2stl) posted his second triple-double on the season, as he tries for his third POW in as many weeks. But overall, Feast Week has been more of a scoring famine for players around the league. The only other starter to break 25 points last night was Mike Davis (16pts, 11reb, 1ast, 1blk), who played 36 minutes in a 78-64 win against a pesky Wofford team. [Wednesday] Chalmers Chiefers appears to be on the verge of dropping his first matchup of the year. An uncharacteristic performance from Cole Aldrich (4pts, 9reb, 1ast, 3blk, 1stl) hurt his chances. But freshman Xavier Henry (19pts, 5reb, 2ast) picked up the scoring slack, as the Jayhawks ran away from Oakland in a 30-point rout. In the semifinals of the NIT Season Tip-Off, Connecticut's Kemba Walker (20pts, 5ast, 1blk, 1stl) and Stanley Robinson (14pts, 11reb, 4ast, 3blk, 3stl) dominated an undermanned Louisiana St team. [Thursday] Creighton managed to take Michigan into overtime in a back-and-forth battle. But in crunch time, the Wolverines were too much, led by DeShawn Sims (16pts, 11reb, 1ast) and Manny Harris (20pts, 9reb, 11ast, 3stl), narrowly missing his second triple-double on the year. [Friday] With a couple of Ivy League teams on the slate for Feast Week, Wesley Johnson (26pts, 3reb, 3ast, 2stl) poured in a career high 26 points as Syracuse crushed Columbia 85-60. But Neenan's Warriors continued their hot streak, getting a double-double from Dominique Jones (11pts, 4reb, 10ast, 2blk, 1stl) and an offensive explosion from Devan Downey (34pts, 2reb, 1ast). The Game of the Week appears to be over, as Derrick Favors (16pts, 8reb, 1ast, 4blk) put the final nail in Chalmers Chiefers' coffin. [Saturday] The Pink Jellybeans allowed Booo Joel to play at full strength, despite turning in their lineup one day late. It appears the college basketball gods saw The Pink Jellybeans' gracious act and brought favor upon them. As Booo Joel's last hope, Tajuan Porter (DNP) sat out with an ankle injury in Oregon's game against Montana St, sealing his fate. Another team desperate for their first victory on the season, Neenan's Warriors refuses to yield ground. Jacob Pullen (25pts, 6reb, 7ast, 3stl) nearly cancelled out Crimson & Bluebloods' fellow Wildcat Curtis Kelly (11pts, 11reb, 2ast, 5blk, 2stl) against IUPUI. This one could come down to a photo finish. Aids narrowly missed a double-double from Greg Monroe (13pts, 9reb, 6ast, 1blk, 1stl), but his matchup against Maria Koppen has been a foregone conclusion for days now. [Sunday] "A comeback for the history books..." Okay, maybe it wasn't that great, but Crimson & Bluebloods denied Neenan's Warriors their first win on the season. Ed Davis (16pts, 15reb, 2ast, 3blk, 1stl) and the overpowering North Carolina frontcourt was too much for the unintimidated Nevada Wolfpack. But this one was close, as Roy Williams recorded a milestone 600th victory, but failed to cover the -15.5 spread. Continue reading for a look at the current scoreboard:
