Fantasy Collge Hoops: Tuesday - Week 5

Tuesday night's games featured three players from Week 5's Game of the Week, all from The Iron Men. Talor Battle (13pts, 8reb, 4ast, 1stl) is typically the straw that stirs the drink for Penn State's offensive attack. But in their narrow 57-53 win over Mount St. Mary's, Battle only managed to hit a season-low three shots on 14 attempts. He did snatch eight rebounds, which helped balance out an otherwise nightmarish outing. There was good news and bad news for Virginia's Mike Scott (10pts, 13reb, 1ast, 2blk). The good news? A week after getting benched in Week 4, Scott responded with a double-double, his fifth-straight for the Cavaliers. The bad news? He only made one basket, going 1-for-7 from the field.

Bill Self and #4 Kansas (-11.5) traveled to the Big Apple to take on the #13 Memphis Tigers in Madison Square Garden, as part of the Jimmy V Classic. The Jayhawks improved to 8-0 on the year, logging their third win over the Tigers in as many seasons.

But Tuesday's high scorer belonged to Neenan's Warriors... Apparently Jimmy Butler (15pts, 9reb, 3ast, 2stl) didn't like getting called out in the first round of power rankings. He was an efficient 5-for-7 against Texas A&M-CC and narrowly missed what would have been his first double-double of the season.

Here's a look at the current scoreboard.
