Fantasy College Hoops: Monday - Championship

UConn's Shabazz Napier (22pts, 6reb, 3ast, 3stl) ended his college career with bookend national championships. In a game the Huskies led Kentucky wire-to-wire, Napier showed just how valuable great point guard play is in the Big Dance.

The senior from Roxbury became the 4th member of the "125-25-25" club (pts/reb/ast in single NCAA tourney) and the first since Kemba Walker led UConn to the NCAA title in 2011. The lone member of The Phoggy Doggs to advance past the Sweet 16, Napier gave the best goodbye present anyone could ask for... One Shining Moment!



 Here's a look at the final scoreboard and standings.

Fantasy College Hoops: Saturday - Final 4

A 30-game winning streak is a remarkable accomplishment in today's era of college basketball. Unfortunately for Gator fans, theirs was sandwiched between two losses at the hands of UConn. For the second time this week, Shabazz Napier (12pts, 3reb, 6ast, 4stl) slayed another tourney favorite to cut down the nets on April 7th. After eliminating Michigan State last Saturday, Napier guided the Huskies past top-seeded Florida and into the NCAA title game.

The encore between Kentucky and Wisconsin came down to the last possession. Julius Randle (16pts, 5reb, 1stl) failed to double-double for the first time this NCAA tourney. But the Wildcats' victory eliminated Bo Ryan and Frank Kaminsky, the remaining players on The Hammer and Señor Pollo's rosters.

Lightning struck twice, as Kentucky's freshman Aaron Harrison buried nearly identical, game-winning 3-pointers against Michigan in the Elite 8...

...and against Wisconsin in the Final 4.

 Here's a look at the final scoreboard for the Final 4.
