Fantasy College Hoops: Sunday - Elite 8

The last half of this year's Final 4 was decided on Sunday. In the first game, UConn's Shabazz Napier (25pts, 6reb, 4ast, 1stl) continued to do his best 'Kemba Walker' impression against Michigan State. The lone remaining player from The Phoggy Doggs was brilliant under the lights in the Madison Square Garden. Napier sunk four 3-pointers and all nine free throw attempts. But more importantly, Napier knocked out Tom Izzo the entire Spartan starting five, which were so dominant over the course of the Big Dance.

The encore was equally as thrilling and came down to the last possession. Kentucky's Julius Randle (16pts, 11reb, 1stl, 1blk) was unguardable for most of the game, notching his fourth-straight double-double for The Pink Jellybeans. Now, the freshman from Dallas will head home for the Final 4 in Jerry's World and try to deliver Kentucky their second NCAA title in three years.

Here's a look at the final scoreboard for the Elite 8.

Fantasy College Hoops: Saturday - Elite 8

Prior to their Elite 8 matchup, Wisconsin's players were asked how Arizona might describe them in 1-2 two words. Frank Kaminsky's answer? "White guys." Source

Well, Frank Kaminsky (28pts, 11reb, 1ast) is one white guy that can play some ball. The 7'0 junior showed off his range, burying 3-for-5 three-pointers. He was too big or too quick for anyone Arizona threw at him. After Kaminsky's 40+ double-double, Señor Pollo is in great position to make a late push, with three players already in the Final 4.

Arizona's Aaron Gordon (8pts, 18reb, 2ast, 2blk, 1stl) pulled down a season-high 18 rebounds in what is likely the freshman's final collegiate game. Wisconsin's Bo Ryan advanced to his first ever Final 4, but this game had to be a little bittersweet for The Hammer.

Here's a look at the current scoreboard.

Fantasy College Hoops: Friday - Sweet 16

In his last two games, Dawson has poured in 50 points while shooting 21-for-31 from the floor. As long as Sparty continues to advance, then Andy & the Miracles have a puncher's chance.

For the second time this season, Kentucky took down in-state rival Louisville. Julius Randle (15pts, 12reb, 1ast, 1stl) sent home the defending national champions after posting his third straight double-double for The Pink Jellybeans.

Fantasy College Hoops: Thursday - Sweet 16

Thursdays' top performance was Señor Pollo's Frank Kaminsky (19pts, 4reb, 3ast, 6blk), as Wisconsin cruised into the Elite 8. It was a solid effort from Kaminsky, but it might be too little too late for the rookie owner. And with four players still alive, there is an outside chance at a miracle comeback.

Fantasy College Hoops: Sunday - Round of 32

Well the field has been narrowed down to the Sweet 16. Sunday's games had it all, including a monster head-to-head matchup that lived up to the hype and then some.

On one side, Wichita State's Cleanthony Early (31pts, 7reb, 1blk, 1stl) showed his full arsenal against the Wildcats. He shot 12-for-17 from the floor, buried four 3-pointers and put Willie Cauley-Stein on a poster.

Kentucky's Julius Randle (13pts, 10reb, 6ast, 1blk, 1stl) posted his 22nd double-double on the season, the third most by a freshman in NCAA history. Randle's six assists were a season-high, matching his assist total from his last 10 games combined. The Pink Jellybeans are poised to make a move in the standings with five still left in play heading into the Sweet 16.

Andy & the Miracles lost their franchise player, Creighton's Doug McDermott, to elimination on Sunday. But Iowa State's DeAndre Kane (24pts, 10reb, 7ast) made every play down the stretch, in the Cyclones' 85-83 victory against North Carolina.

Here is a look at the final scoreboard for the Round of 32.

Fantasy College Hoops: Saturday - Round of 32

Survive and advance is the mantra for March Madness. Harvard tried to play the role of giant killer against Michigan State. But Branden Dawson (26pts, 9reb, 1ast, 1stl) helped Sparty punch their ticket to NYC for the Sweet 16. Dawson poured in a career-high 26 points, shooting 12-for-15 from the floor. Now, Andy & the Miracles is in great position heading into Sunday's games.

The Pink Jellybeans made the most of Saturday's games, and San Diego State marched on to the Sweet 16 as well. Led by senior guard Xavier Thames (30pts, 1reb, 6ast, 1stl), who was responsible for nearly 50% of the Aztecs' scoring. After fighting past North Dakota State, they will face the winner of Arizona/Gonzaga.

Here is a look at the current scoreboard.

Fantasy College Hoops: Friday - Round of 64

The headliner for Friday's games was the #1 overall pick in the draft. Creighton's Doug McDermott (30pts, 12reb, 2ast, 1blk) posted a double-double before halftime, while breaking 50+ fantasy points for Andy & the Miracles. The Blue Jays held off the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns with a 10-point victory and will face Baylor on Sunday.

Oklahoma State's Marcus Smart (23pts, 13reb, 7ast, 1blk, 6stl) made the most of his 'one-and-done' campaign for The Hammer. But the (preseason) Big XII player of the year couldn't push the Cowboys past Gonzaga. In a game that featured 61 fouls, Smart made a living at the charity stripe.


The Pink Jellybeans lost a pair of players in the opening round - Cincinnati's Sean Kilpatrick and VCU's Juvonte Reddic. But Kentucky's Julius Randle (19pts, 15reb, 1blk) put the rest of the team on his back. Kentucky emerged victorious in the 'Wildcat Bowl' against Kansas St, led by Randle's 7th double-double in his last 8 games.

Here is a look at the final scoreboard for the Round of 64.

Fantasy College Hoops: Thursday - Round of 64

March Madness kicked off with a trio of noteworthy performances.

Michigan State's Adreian Payne (41pts, 8reb, 1blk) was Thursday's top performer. Bo Ryan and the Badgers easily covered the -14 spread, shooting 50% from the floor including ten 3-pointers.

Payne's career game against Delaware paired with Wisconsin's 40-point beatdown on American helped The Hammer surge into the lead after day one.

The Phoggy Doggs nearly lost Shabbazz Napier (24pts, 8reb, 6ast, 3stl) in UConn's 89-81 overtime win against St. Joseph's. The senior out of Roxbury, MA scored 9 points after regulation, setting up a Big East throwback matchup against #2 seed Villanova.

Here is a look at the current scoreboard.
