Fantasy College Hoops: Sunday - Week 17

On Senior Day in Lexington, John Calipari and Kentucky (-11.5) slipped past Florida 74-66. For 4th place finisher Gordon Bombay, Calipari ended the season as the league's top-ranked head coach, averaging 7.74 points in 17 starts. The victory capped a perfect 18-0 record inside Rupp Arena, something the Wildcats hadn't accomplished in nearly a decade.

For the second consecutive year, Boilers took home the figurative bronze medal. Despite entering the playoffs as the prohibitive favorite, a third place finish shouldn't be looked upon as a failure. Over the course of the season, Boilers ravaged the free agency market and transformed his team into a nightmare matchup down the stretch.

Freshman point guard John Wall (11pts, 2reb, 8ast) didn't lead Paul Rudd > Ashley Judd to the promised land, but he did secure 2nd place for the rookie owner. Any owner's first year should serve as a learning experience, but finishing in 2nd place can only boost the ego. It will be interesting to see how Paul Rudd > Ashley Judd spends the offseason, and if he can snowball this year's success into momentum for next season.

Here's a look at Week 17's final scoreboard and the playoff bracket.
