Fantasy College Hoops: Saturday - Week 13

Saturday was a Game of the Week showcase, with seven players suiting up altogether. But it was a rough day for The Iron Men, and that's putting it nicely. The Big East trio of Cincinnati's Yancy Gates (11pts, 6reb, 2blk, 1stl), Louisville's Kyle Kuric (14pts, 3reb, 2ast, 1stl) and Seton Hall's Jordan Theodore (10pts, 3reb, 3ast, 2stl) combined to score just 29.25 fantasy points. So in Week 13, North Carolina's Tyler Zeller scored 43.80 fantasy points, while The Iron Men's other five starters combined for just 45.75.

The Phoggy Doggs didn't get anything special out of Mississippi State's Dee Bost (15pts, 3reb, 7ast, 1stl) or Arnett Moultrie (21pts, 7reb, 1ast), as they combined for eight personal fouls and only made 10-for-21 from the charity stripe. And Iowa State's Royce White (3pts, 4reb, 7ast, 1blk, 2stl) put up a perplexing stat line against Oklahoma. The junior transfer made his one-and-only shot attempt, a dunk with 1:38 left in the game. California's Allen Crabbe (19pts, 5reb, 1ast) fared much better, logging 27 minutes without a foul or turnover. He did, however, miss the last nine minutes of the game after turning his ankle in the second half of the Golden Bears' 68-47 blowout of Arizona State.



The Hammer owned superstars on opposing sides of Saturday night's Border War. Kansas' Thomas Robinson (25pts, 13reb, 1ast, 1stl) and Missouri's Marcus Denmon (29pts, 9reb, 2ast, 1stl) did not disappoint. These two showed why they are considered shoe-ins for All-Big XII, combining for 54 points and 22 rebounds. Robinson controlled the paint on both sides of the floor, while Denmon torched the nets with a career-high six 3-pointers, including a pair in the final two minutes.

With the help of Ohio State's Jared Sullinger (24pts, 10reb, 3stl), Chocolate Thunder went down swinging against Nosotros Creemos. Vanderbilt's Jeffery Taylor (25pts, 6reb, 2ast, 1blk, 4stl) helped protect the lead heading into the final day of Week 13.

Purdue's Robbie Hummel (16pts, 10reb, 2ast, 5blk, 2stl) put up his best performance of the season against the archrival Hoosiers for Boiler Up, Hammer Down. Unfortunately, it was of little use as The Hammer was not to be denied this week.

And Kentucky's Anthony Davis (22pts, 8reb, 1ast, 8blk, 2stl) clearly has no intention of running into the freshman wall. Davis missed just one shot, finishing 9-for-10 and matched his season-high in blocked shots (8) for Tom Selleck's doppelgänger.

Here's a look at the current scoreboard.
