Fantasy College Hoops: Tuesday - Week 4

Only one player from the Game of the Week: Ohio State's Jared Sullinger (11pts, 13reb, 1blk, 1stl) followed Nikola Vucevic's double-double with one of his own for Jill Cousins. The Buckeyes' fantastic freshman displayed a variety of post moves in a low-scoring battle against Florida State.

Saint D's frontcourt players not named Herb Pope continue to put up some monster performances. This time, it was Rick Jackson (17pts, 13reb, 3ast, 1stl) as Syracuse improved to 7-0 on the season, beating Cornell 78-58.

A red-hot Red Raider posted Tuesday's high score. Mike Singletary (29pts, 13reb, 6ast) carried Texas Tech to a 86-82 win over a pesky Oral Roberts team. Now, The Iron Men are in great position before their three guards (Dunn, Battle, Taylor) hit the hardwood later this week.

Here's a look at the current scoreboard.

Fantasy College Hoops: Monday - Week 4

Week 4's Game of the Week is a battle of undefeated squads, as Jill Cousins takes on Crimson & Bluebloods. Each team had one player in action last night, so let's begin there. Southern Cal's one-man wrecking crew, Nikola Vucevic (16pts, 10reb) logged his 5th double-double on the year. But failing to record any assists, blocks or steals nullified any chance at a premium bonus. Crimson & Bluebloods picked up Minnesota's Blake Hoffarber (19pts, 5reb, 5ast, 2stl) just before the submission deadline. And despite Minnesota's second-half meltdown to unranked Virginia, Hoffarber's five 3-pointers proved himself worthy of the open spot on the two-time, defending champs roster.

Preseason All-American candidate Jacob Pullen (26pts, 2reb, 5ast, 1blk, 3stl) broke the school-record for career 3-pointers made in Kansas State's win over Division II Emporia State last night. Fellow Wildcat Curtis Kelly (6pts, 1reb, 1stl) remains in Frank Martin's doghouse, after committing 3 fouls and 3 turnovers in only 11 minutes of play. God's on my side is likely pulling his hair out after struggling to find a third consistent performer in the frontcourt.

Here's a look at the current scoreboard.

Fantasy College Hoops: Recap - Week 3

Here are the storylines from Week 3:

After three weeks of divisional matchups Gordon Bombay, Crimson & Bluebloods and Jill Cousins are currently undefeated. It's all about matchups, as 11th place Chalmers Chiefers (0-3) has scored more total points than 5th place Sutton & Sons (2-1).

Free Agency: Jill Cousins dropped Rotnei Clarke, G, Arkansas and picked up Trent Lockett, G, Arizona St; Jill Cousins dropped Rihards Kuksiks, G/F, Arizona St and picked up Marshon Brooks, G/F, Providence.

Injury/Roster Report: Stanford's Jeremy Green (stomach virus) was taken to the hospital after his 19-point outing against DePaul. Alabama's JaMychal Green (violation of team rules) was suspended indefinitely for what head coach Anthony Grant called "conduct detrimental to the team." Owners would be wise to keep an eye on these two.

Here's a look at the Top 50 in scoring through Week 3.

Fantasy College Hoops: Sunday - Week 3

Only four players were in action on the final day of Week 3. The first were a couple of Spartans: Kalin Lucas (15pts, 3reb, 2ast) and Draymond Green (10pts, 9reb, 6ast) looked pretty ho-hum in a 'take care of business' game against Tennessee Tech. As expected, The Iron Men fell victim to the raw scoring power of Jill Cousins in the Game of the Week.

Chalmers Chiefers was still holding out hope for a last-second comeback. And despite the efforts of Northwestern's John Shurna (23pts, 6reb, 4ast, 2stl), it just wasn't enough in the end. It's been a rough start to the season for Chalmers Chiefers to say the least, who drops to 0-3 on the year.

After some impressive performances early in the season, Boilers rewarded Chris Singleton (8pts, 5reb, 2ast, 2blk, 2stl) with his first start in Week 3. But when he needed him most, this Seminole fizzled when he should have sizzled. He went 2-for-12 against the Florida Gators, and was held to single-digits for the first time all season. Boilers now finds himself in a three-way tie in Division: Hitched, with a 1-2 record thus far.

Here's a look at the current scoreboard.

Fantasy College Hoops: Saturday - Week 3

Everything was falling for Kyle Singler (30pts, 5reb, 2ast) in his homecoming to Eugene, Oregon. Playing against his little brother, E.J. Singler, provided Kyle with some extra motivation. He matched a career-high 30 points, including five 3-pointers and #1 Duke rolled to a 98-71 win over the Ducks. But that heroic performance still wasn't enough to give Paul Rudd > Ashley Judd a Week 3 win.

After tying a school-record seven 3-pointers, Austin Freeman (32pts, 3reb, 2ast, 1ast) brought Saint D back from the dead. Now the pressure is on Boilers, who thought midweek he had a win in the bag. We'll see how Florida State's Chris Singleton fares tonight against in-state rival Florida, as this matchup's outcome hangs in the balance.

Here's a look at the current scoreboard.

Fantasy College Hoops: Friday - Week 3

Black Friday put the first matchup of Week 3 in the books. Thad Matta and the Ohio State Buckeyes (-25.5) failed to cover against Miami (OH), but their 66-45 win all but assured God's on my side of a 2-1 record to start the season.

Rick Jackson (10pts, 12reb, 1ast, 2blk) helped Syracuse to a tough 53-50 win over Michigan in Atlantic City. Saint D closed the gap significantly against Boilers, as this one is still too close to call.

Yesterday's high score goes to Jordan Williams (24pts, 13reb, 1ast, 4blk, 1stl) of Maryland. He has double-doubled in 5-of-7 games for the Terps thus far, not bad for Gordon Bombay's 5th round pick.

Here's a look at the current scoreboard.

Fantasy College Hoops: Thursday - Week 3

While most of us were stuffing our faces with turkey and mashed potatoes yesterday, a few hoopsters were putting in some serious work. After a solid outing from Jill Cousins' second free agent pickup Trent Lockett (18pts, 9reb, 6ast, 1blk) the Game of the Week victory is cooked and ready to be served.

Although it will likely be in a losing effort, Georgia's Travis Leslie (23pts, 9reb, 3ast, 5stl) wouldn't let WGP waive the white flag just yet. Leslie and Trey Thompkins didn't get much help, combining for 60% of WGP's total points this week.

Word on the street is that not even Thanksgiving could silence the heavy trash-talking between Chalmers Chiefers and Sutton & Sons. It's been pretty competitive so far, and I'm anticipating this matchup coming down to the final day. Sutton & Sons had to be thankful for giving Marshall Moses (27pts, 9reb, 1ast, 1stl) his first start on the season. While delivering a career-high 27 points, Moses made 11 of 14 shot attempts and went 5-for-5 from the charity stripe - a career 63% free throw shooter.

But Thursday's top scorer was Wisconsin's Jon Leuer (16pts, 14reb, 2ast, 2blk, 1stl) in their ugly 50-35 win over Manhattan. A comeback for Neenan's Warriors looks to be a fairy tale at this point, as Gordon Bombay looks poised to move to 3-0.

Here's a look at the current scoreboard.

Fantasy College Hoops: Wednesday - Week 3

Happy Thanksgiving!

As one of only three players to double-double in each of the first three weeks, Southern Cal's Nikola Vucevic (16pts, 14reb, 5ast, 2blk) appears to have put the finishing touches on the Game of the Week. With only one player left for The Iron Men, Jill Cousins can almost taste a flawless 3-0 start to the season.

Other notable Turkey Day performances included a pair of Villanova backcourt teammates. Corey Fisher (26pts, 3reb, 4ast, 2stl) poured in a career-high 26 points against UCLA in the semifinals of the NIT Season Tip-Off. And sophomore Maalik Wayns (19pts, 6reb, 3ast, 2stl), Scottie Reynolds' heir apparent, is settling into Nova's 3-guard offense quite nicely.

Here's a look at the current scoreboard.

Fantasy College Hoops: Tuesday - Week 3

In my experience, a matchup between Jill Cousins and The Iron Men is usually the league's 'Toilet Bowl'. But that can't be farther from the truth so far. These notorious flake owners possess two of the stronger teams in the league and are indeed worthy of Week 3's Game of the Week matchup.

As The Iron Men continue to wait for Josh Selby's December 18th eligibility, Tyshawn Taylor (7pts, 1reb, 9ast, 2stl) continues to be a great distributor (9 assists, 2 turnovers) for Kansas. Their school-record 63rd straight win inside Phog Allen Fieldhouse looked like a Jayhawk AND1 Mixtape. Not to be outdone, newly acquired Marshon Brooks (20pts, 11reb, 2ast, 1blk, 2stl) had a solid debut for Jill Cousins, who appears to have found a diamond in the rough.

The other matchup in Division: Hamilton is officially a shootout. God's on my side continues to pour it on, with another solid outing from Colorado's Alec Burks (22pts, 6reb, 2ast, 1blk, 1stl). But just as WGP's scoring needed a shot in the arm, Klay Thompson (35pts, 6reb, 3ast, 2blk, 1stl) delivered the high score of the night. Thompson was practically unconscious, going 13-for-16 from the field. And his 35 points scored was his highest output since dropping 43 on San Diego last November.

Some notable performances from Division: Hitched included Crimson & Bluebloods' Jordan Hamilton (25pts, 9reb) and a huge double-double from Saint D's Alex Oriahki (15pts, 17reb, 1blk, 1stl) in UConn's 70-67 upset of #2 Michigan State in Maui.

Here's a look at the current scoreboard.

Fantasy College Hoops: Monday - Week 3

Monday's games featured the debut of The Iron Men's first round pick, Baylor's LaceDarius Dunn (24pts, 5reb, 4ast, 2stl) against Lipscomb. He shot 7-for-11 from downtown, but committed four fouls and turned the ball over six times. Overall, it was a typical "LaceDarius" kind of night. The Iron Men's 2nd round pick, the Nittany Lions' point guard Talor Battle (9pts, 3reb, 3ast) did not fare nearly as well. He was a frigid 4-for-15 and failed to make it to the charity stripe for the first time since January 31, 2010 against Purdue.

Neenan's Warriors continue to ride the hot hand of Kemba Walker (31pts, 2reb, 2ast, 3stl) who scored 29 second-half points in UConn's first round matchup vs. Wichita State in the Maui Invitational.

But the biggest performances came from a God's on my side duo. Tim Abromaitis (26pts, 3reb, 3ast, 1stl) and Quincy Acy (18pts, 14reb, 1blk) both posted 30+ in their games Monday night. WGP knows his squad's overall scoring must improve if he wants any shot at a win this week. We'll see if they can rebound as the week wears on.

Here's a look at the current scoreboard.

Fantasy College Hoops: Recap - Week 2

Here are the storylines from Week 2:

Lineup submission was so-so last week. Let's see if we can do a better job across the board. It's only Week 3, so there's no excuse for any 0-2 teams to be throwing in the towel this early in the season. I've noticed some rosters are frontcourt heavy, while others are crowded in the backcourt. If anyone would like to officially place a player on the trading block, just let me know.

Free Agency: God's on my side dropped Ty Abbott, G, Arizona State and picked up Tristan Thompson, F, Texas; Paul Rudd > Ashley Judd dropped Fab Melo, F, Syracuse and picked up Thomas Robinson, F, Kansas.

Injury/Roster Report: Seton Hall's Jeremy Hazell (broken wrist) will miss 4-6 weeks. North Carolina State's Tracy Smith (knee) is out for three weeks. Josh Selby will make his collegiate debut for the Jayhawks on 12/8 vs. Southern Cal, after serving a 9-game suspension for accepting improper benefits.

Here's a look at the league leaders in scoring through Week 2.

Fantasy College Hoops: Sunday - Week 2

Whew! The Game of the Week truly lived up to its billing... and Gordon Bombay has to be ecstatic with the result. Needing a 30+ outing for a victory, JaJuan Johnson (25pts, 11reb, 5ast, 2blk, 4stl) put the Gordon Bombay franchise on his back and carried them to a win over Sutton & Sons. I think we all know what comes next for Gordon Bombay's first-round pick... stay tuned.

Here's a look at the final scoreboard for Week 2.

Fantasy College Hoops: Saturday - Week 2

There were only four players in Saturday's games, and three of them were from Gordon Bombay's 1-0 squad. Streetball legend Corey Fisher (16pts, 6reb, 4ast, 3stl) was one of six Villanova Wildcats to score in double-figures, in a dominating 45-point rout of Lafayette. But Bombay still needs a solid Sunday line from his first round pick, Purdue's JaJuan Johnson, or Sutton & Sons will win their second straight Game of the Week matchup.

Speaking of Purdue: Boilers should be able to grab a Week 2 win over Paul Rudd > Ashley Judd. Heading into today's games, they trail by only 23 points, and have two players remaining. Let's see if he takes care of business, or makes it interesting...

Saturday's top scorer was Alec Burks (29pts, 5reb, 2ast, 2stl) in Colorado's overtime loss to San Francisco. The Dons are coached by former Jayhawk Rex Walters, who helped Kansas to a Final 4 in '93.

Here's a look at the current scoreboard.

Fantasy College Hoops: Friday - Week 2

Sutton & Sons reached the finish line last night. John Calipari and Kentucky (-9) put a beating on Portland, with a 79-48 win inside Rose Garden. Now it's just a question of whether they can hold onto their lead through a busy weekend for Gordon Bombay.

It appears that last week's close finishes have carried over to Week 2. On all day Friday, it seemed like a foregone conclusion that Jill Cousins would snag a victory over WGP. And he did... by the narrowest of margins. Marcus Morris (20pts, 3reb) and John Roberson (15pts, 2reb, 6ast, 1blk, 3stl) did just enough to give Jill Cousins the win by less than one point.

Neenan's Warriors tried to slam the door early in their matchup with Chalmers Chiefers. Seton Hall's Jeremy Hazell (27pts, 2reb, 2ast, 4stl) put a bow on top of Neenan's Warriors' scorecard. Chalmers Chiefers is now staring an 0-2 record right in the face. But last night wasn't all bad for them, as Mike Krzyzewski and #1 Duke brushed aside Colgate 110-58. The Blue Devils' point guard Kyrie Irving (13pts, 3reb, 9ast, 1blk), last week's Player of the Week, has dished out 20 assists in his first three games inside the friendly confines of Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Here's a look at the current scoreboard.

Fantasy College Hoops: Thursday - Week 2

A handful of players from the Game of the Week saw the floor on Thursday, including all six of Sutton & Sons starters. The outcome is still up in the air, but right now it doesn't look like either team will come close to their scoring output in Week 1. One bright spot for the rookie owner was Boston College's Reggie Jackson (30pts, 8reb, 1ast, 1blk, 2stl), who dropped a career-high 30 points in a head-scratching loss to Yale. This was the Eagles' third straight season with a home loss to an Ivy Leaguer. Sutton & Sons' frontcourt production took a big hit when North Carolina State's Tracy Smith (4pts, 1reb) logged only 6 minutes before suffering a left knee injury in their game against East Carolina. It has yet to be determined how many games Smith will miss due to the injury.

The only other notable performance from Thursday's games was another player from the Big East. Georgetown's Chris Wright (12pts, 4reb, 12ast) gave Chalmers Chiefers their first double-double of the season in Georgetown's win over the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers. What is a Chanticleer? But it might be too little, too late... as Chalmers Chiefers still faces a sizable deficit with only one player remaining, against Neenan's Warriors' two.

But here's a look at the current scoreboard.

Fantasy College Hoops: Wednesday - Week 2

I know it's still early, but it looks like front-runners for Week 2's Player of the Week were in action on Wednesday. With no further update from the Game of the Week, we turn our attention elsewhere.

Neenan's Warriors is showing no mercy on Chalmers Chiefers, thanks to Kemba Walker (42pts, 8reb, 3ast, 1stl) and his career-high 42 points. But Walker wasn't the only Big East beast to break the half-century mark last night. After a shaky outing in Week 1, God's on my side has to be pleased he gave Tim Abromaitis (21pts, 10reb, 7ast, 1blk, 1stl) the starting nod in Week 2.

Purdue managed to outscore Alcorn State's 47 total points with 1:39 left... in the first half. Boilers had to be loving every minute of the Mackey Massacre. Simply put, E'Twaun Moore (19pts, 6reb, 7ast, 1stl) made the most of his 14 minutes of action, matching a career-high with 7 assists.

Here's a look at the current scoreboard.

Fantasy College Hoops: Tuesday - Week 2

The 'Game of the Week' finally got underway last night, but it wasn't the start Gordon Bombay had anticipated. Dating back to last season, Isaiah Thomas (9pts, 2reb, 4ast, 5stl) was held to single-digits for the first time in his last 9 games. With all six of Sutton & Sons' players in action on Thursday night, Gordon Bombay must have a productive weekend to get a win.

(AP Photo/Al Goldis)

It was a great night for a couple of players from Division: Hamilton. Michigan State secured their 49th straight home win over a non-conference opponent, 82-73 over South Carolina. The Iron Men's Draymond Green (18pts, 12reb, 2ast, 4blk, 6stl) stuffed the stat sheet, as Tuesday's high scorer. WGP's Klay Thompson (23pts, 4reb, 9ast, 1blk, 2stl) is out to prove he is no longer a just a long-range bomber. In Washington State's first two games, the 6'6" junior has dished out 15 assists.

As for Saint D, it was one step forward and two steps back. Syracuse definitely found their Arinze Onuaku replacement in Rick Jackson (10pts, 22reb, 2ast, 2blk, 1stl). He's posted two straight double-doubles, while ripping down 35 boards in the process. Unfortunately, Jackson scored eight times as many points as his other three Saint D teammates combined: Colorado's Cory Higgins (4pts, 2reb, 2stl), Indiana's Maurice Creek (7pts, 2reb, 1blk), and Florida's Alex Tyus (4pts, 4reb) ...ouch.

Here's a look at the current scoreboard.

Fantasy College Hoops: Monday - Week 2

Monday's games almost exclusively featured the Jill Cousins vs. WGP matchup. Nikola Vucevic (22pts, 11reb, 1ast, 1blk, 1stl) and JaMychal Green (17pts, 7reb, 3stl) both went 8-for-14 from the floor. On the other hand, WGP's Augustus Gilchrist (7pts, 5reb, 1stl) and his South Florida Bulls struggled to escape with a 3-point victory over St. Francis (NY).

The only other game of note was the Jayhawks' beatdown of Valparaiso, where Bill Self and Kansas (-21.5) coasted to a 79-44 blowout, their 61st straight victory in Phog Allen Fieldhouse.

Here's a look at the current scoreboard.

Fantasy College Hoops: Recap - Week 1

Here are the storylines from the opening week:

I was extremely pleased with everyone getting their lineups in, but the midweek chatter was relatively silent. Hopefully it doesn't take too long to get the competitive juices flowing, because this was certainly an exciting week of college hoops.

After the NCAA declared Kentucky's Enes Kanter permanently ineligible, Crimson & Bluebloods made his frontcourt teammate Terrence Jones the league's first free agent pickup.

It's all about matchups: Unfortunately for Boilers (0-1), they played one of the two teams that scored more points than them in Week 1. On the other hand, The Iron Men (1-0) lucked into playing one of the two teams that scored less than them.


Here's a look at the league leaders in scoring through Week 1.

Fantasy College Hoops: Sunday - Week 1

What a way to kickoff fantasy college hoops! There couldn't have been six closer matchups. This was certainly one of the craziest weeks in recent memory. Let's start with the Game of the Week. Down by 33+, Neenan's Warriors knew they needed a superhuman performance from their first round pick, Jeremy Hazell (28pts, 2ast, 1blk, 1stl). Despite pouring in 28 points while shooting 8-for-11 from the field, their comeback fell just short against Sutton & Sons.

One of the best known Yogi-isms would fit perfectly to Week 1's Sinovic Bowl: "It ain't over 'til it's over." Not even a 90-point lead for Chalmers Chiefers was safe on this day. Gordon Bombay's three-headed monster of Wisconsin's Jon Leuer (24pts, 7reb, 1ast, 3blk), Maryland's Jordan Williams (20pts, 11reb, 1blk) and Purdue's JaJuan Johnson (10pts, 12reb, 5blk, 1stl) all posted 30+ point games, capping a ridiculous comeback against big brother. It's an early gut-check for Chalmers Chiefers, as this one will sting for a while.

The defending National Champion Duke Blue Devils' opener against Princeton highlighted a head-to-head matchup of backcourt teammates: Boilers' Nolan Smith (22pts, 4reb, 6ast, 2stl) against Kyrie Irving (17pts, 4reb, 9ast, 1blk, 2stl) of Crimson & Bluebloods. The frosh from St. Patrick's in New Jersey had a dazzling debut in front of the Cameron Crazies. After trading blows for seven days, these two teams ended up as two of the top three scoring teams this week. Lucky for me, Crimson & Bluebloods was able to crawl away from this battle royale with a hard earned victory.

Here's a look at the final scoreboard for Week 1.

Fantasy College Hoops: Saturday - Week 1

Saturday was not as nearly as busy, but one matchup is officially in the books. Klay Thompson (15pts, 6reb, 6ast, 1stl) put up some decent numbers, but only managed two points in the second half. In the end, WGP fell just short and The Iron Men dodged a bullet before moving to 1-0 on the year.

Southern Cal's Nikola Vucevic (19pts, 14reb, 1blk, 1stl) was Jill Cousins' second player to double-double, and his top scorer for Week 1. Now, the lead over God's on my side is nearly out of reach.

The only other player yesterday was Washington's point guard, Isaiah Thomas (17pts, 1reb, 3ast, 1stl). He scored 17 points in only 23 minutes against McNeese State, and buried all four of this three-point attempts.

Here's a look at the current scoreboard.

Fantasy College Hoops: Friday - Week 1

The end of November work weeks are typically reserved for some Friday Night Lights. But with just over 2/3 of our league starters hitting the hardwood, it was an action-packed evening of college hoops as well. Let's start with Week 1's Game of the Week. After the fast start by Sutton & Sons on Monday, Neenan's Warriors needed to make a statement. Marquette's Jimmy Butler (18pts, 6reb, 3ast, 2stl, 3blk) and Connecticut's Kemba Walker (18pts, 6reb, 3ast, 2stl) provided some early season fireworks. Now, this matchup hinges on Neenan's Warriors first round pick: Jeremy Hazell, Seton Hall's electric, scoring guard.

Other notable Friday performances featured guys stepping up in the wake of absent teammates. With Trey Thompkins - the Preseason SEC Player of the Year - nursing an ankle injury, Travis Leslie (16pts, 11reb, 2ast, 4blk) and Georgia squeaked by Mississippi Valley State 72-70. The Iron Men continue to wait out Selbygate, but Tyshawn Taylor (17pts, 1reb, 10ast, 3stl) took full advantage of running the point in the Jayhawks' 113-75 romp over Longwood. Unfortunately, The Iron Men left the door open to WGP when Baylor ultimately handed LaceDarius Dunn a three-game suspension, despite temporarily reinstating him due to his recent legal troubles. It will be interesting to see if WGP can take advantage of this early season power play, a golden opportunity.

Boilers and Crimson & Bluebloods got double-doubles out of their ACC power forwards: Virginia Tech's Jeff Allen (11pts, 14reb, 5ast, 4blk, 2stl) and North Carolina's John Henson (10pts, 17reb, 7blk, 1stl) both relentlessly crashed the boards. This heated matchup is still neck and neck, and will likely come down to the wire.

Despite narrowly missing a double-double of his own, John Shurna (31pts, 9reb, 3ast, 1stl) matched a career-high with 31 points and drained 7 threes, posting Friday's high score for Chalmers Chiefers. The Sinovic Bowl has been pretty one-sided thus far, but Gordon Bombay still has some heavy hitters left on his plate. Getting off to a 1-0 start is always good for team morale, especially when family bragging rights are at stake.

Here's a look at the current scoreboard.

Fantasy College Hoops: Wednesday - Week 1

Only two players were in action Wednesday night, and both were featured in another Texas tuneup. The Longhorns (-20.5) overcame a sluggish start before pulling away from Louisiana Tech in the second half, coasting to an 89-58 win in Austin. Jordan Hamilton (19pts, 4reb, 2ast, 2stl) led the team in scoring once again, but shot a frigid 1-for-6 from beyond the arc. There's no question that Hamilton shows flashes of brilliance. But his questionable shot selection and lack of focus will offer plenty of 'teaching opportunities' (pictured above) for head coach Rick Barnes. If he can reel in the super soph, then Texas will be a dangerous team in the Big XII Conference. Until then, good luck with those Texas-sized headaches.

Here's a look at the current scoreboard.

Fantasy College Hoops: Monday - Week 1

The Game of the Week got off to a quick start, with four players in action on Monday night. It was a coming out party for rookie owner Sutton & Sons Saloon and Pharmacy, who shot out of the gates early. Led by Pittsburgh's Brad Wanamaker (24pts, 3reb, 8ast, 1stl) and Texas' Gary Johnson (17pts, 10reb, 2ast, 1blk), who both won their opening games of the 2K Sports Coaches vs. Cancer Classic.



In the first official game of the college basketball season, Jamie Dixon and #4 Pittsburgh (-11) overcame Rhode Island's 14 three-pointers, to escape with a 83-75 victory. Ashton Gibbs (22pts, 4reb, 3ast, 1stl) buried two three-pointers of his own, while guiding the Panthers to their first win.

Here's a look at the current scoreboard.

Fantasy College Hoops: NCAA Schedules

Either is acceptable, as long as it is turned in correctly and before Monday at 5:00pm! As commissioner, I will give each owner one free pass. This means I will set their lineup if they forget one time. After that, the penalty from last year (i.e. daily player deduction) will carry over to this season.

Fantasy College Hoops: Draft Results

It was a smaller than usual group of in-person draftees. There were some technical difficulties with our chat room, but I hope everyone had a great time at tonight's draft. For the league's two newcomers, consider this your official "welcome aboard". Although the Chiefs dropped an overtime heartbreaker to the Raiders in Oakland, the draftees did a great job staying focused throughout the draft. All signs point to another exciting and competitive season of Fantasy College Hoops. Here's the complete breakdown of Ace's 2010-2011 Fantasy College Hoops Draft:
