Fantasy College Hoops: Saturday - Week 10

Saturday's games featured 38 players, so a handful of matchups have already been decided. But let's start with the Game of the Week. The Iron Men and Boilers literally went head-to-head when Baylor traveled to Ames to take on Iowa State. The Iron Men's LaceDarius Dunn (20pts, 6reb, 1ast) fell victim to Boilers' Diante Garrett (16pts, 5reb, 11ast, 1stl) and that dreaded 'Hilton Magic', a 72-57 Cyclone victory. Boilers continues to get huge numbers from Duke's Nolan Smith (29pts, 7reb, 6ast, 3stl) now that he's comfortably taken over the point guard spot for injured Kyrie Irving. Heading into the final day of Week 10, The Iron Men look to be against the ropes. We'll see if Boilers can land a knockout blow for his fifth straight win.

Poof! Just like that, a 113-point lead is now less than two. The two-headed, frontcourt monster of Arizona's Derrick Williams (31pts, 10reb, 2ast, 1stl) and Georgia's Trey Thompkins (21pts, 4reb, 4ast, 3blk, 1stl) placed Crimson & Bluebloods in great position to move to 10-0. A loss would drop Nostoros Creemos to 2-8, and force him to reserve a room here.

After an abysmal 1-5 start, Saint D is back from the dead after winning three of his last four matchups. His most recent victim? Neenan's Warriors. Saint D's Austin Freeman (25pts, 9reb, 4ast, 1stl) showed off his range in Georgetown's 74-65 win over Rutgers.

Sutton & Sons rewarded Texas A&M's sophomore Khris Middleton (28pts, 7reb, 4ast, 1stl) with a start in Week 10, and he came through in the clutch against Missouri. He scored 11 of his 28 points in overtime for the Aggies (16-1, 3-0 Big XII), winners of 13 straight. A Week 10 win is far from certain, as The Hammer's Marshon Brooks will lace 'em up on Sunday.

Here's a look at the current scoreboard.
