There weren't any games scheduled for Friday. But after Saturday's games, every matchup was in the books, including the
Game of the Week. Though he hasn't matched his early season eye-popping numbers, Providence's
Marshon Brooks (27pts, 3reb, 1stl) has been a model of consistency. Brooks hit four 3-pointers and helped the Friars
knock off #15 Louisville and their former head coach, Rick Pitino. But the unfortunate theme for Boilers was his frontcourt's inability to put up points. After a below average performance from Virginia Tech's Jeff Allen on Thursday night, Florida State's
Chris Singleton (4pts, 6reb, 1ast, 1blk, 1stl) and Minnesota's
Trevor Mbakwe (13pts, 8reb, 1ast, 1blk) combined for just 24.25 fantasy points. And just like that, The Hammer improves to 8-3 on the year and brings Boilers' 5-game winning streak to a screeching halt.
Other notable performances from Week 11's Saturday games...
Paul Rudd > Ashley Judd continues to get solid production from
Kyle Singler (24pts, 7reb, 4ast, 2stl), who has posted 30+ fantasy points in four out of the last five weeks.
Saint D's frontcourt is looking extremely scary, now that Seton Hall's
Herb Pope (15pts, 16reb, 1ast, 3blk, 2stl), the nation's leading returning rebounder, is regaining his form.
It wasn't pretty, but Crimson & Bluebloods somehow kept his perfect record intact. Arizona's
Derrick Williams (17pts, 19reb, 1ast, 1blk, 1stl) put up quite an encore after his
Player of the Week performance last week.
Gordon Bombay, Week 11's top scorer, only needed Villanova's
Corey Fisher (28pts, 3reb, 6ast) and Washington's
Isaiah Thomas (19pts, 6reb, 8ast, 3stl) to outscore The Iron Men this week.
Here's a look at the current
scoreboard.
