Fantasy College Hoops: Friday - Round of 64

The Iron Men were the only franchise to not lose a player in the opening round. And while it's still early, losing half of your squad at this point is not the best way to play Hard Ball.

Villanova's Daniel Ochefu (17pts, 10reb, 4ast, 1stl, 3blk) was Friday's top performer. His double-double against UNC Asheville helped the Wildcats cruise to an 86-56 victory. But the bigger story was rookie owner Goetz-anova's early gut-check. He'll need to gather the troops and try to overcome the loss of Michigan State's Denzel Valentine (13pts, 6reb, 12ast, 2stl), the league's #1 overall pick.

Big-time upsets, buzzer beaters, unlikely heroes... that is what the first two days of the NCAA tournament are all about. And Friday's games had it all. First, there was #15 Middle Tennessee taking down #2 Michigan State, a Vegas-favorite to get to Houston. Then, a half-court heave lifted #11 Northern Iowa over #6 Texas.

Here's a look at the current standings, as well as the final scoreboard and statistics for the Round of 64.
