Fantasy College Hoops: Friday - Sweet 16

We're halfway to crowning a champion and the cream is starting to rise to the top. Friday's top performer, North Carolina's Brice Johnson (20pts, 10reb, 1ast, 1stl, 3blk) gave The Iron Men a much-needed shot in the arm. His second straight double-double advanced the Tar Heels to the Elite 8 and a matchup with Notre Dame.

Despite owning a 60+ point lead, Some Buddy to Lean on is now down to just two players: Oklahoma's Buddy Hield and Notre Dame's Zach Auguste. Will this outnumbered squad be able to survive the weekend?

After losing the #1 overall pick in devastating fashion, Michigan State's Denzel Valentine, Goetz-anova managed to avoid any other eliminations. Heading into the Elite 8 with a roster of six is quite a luxury. They should be able to close the gap if they continue to perform at their current pace.

Perry's Hairline desperately needs his Jayhawk duo of Perry Ellis and Bill Self to make it to Houston for a potential matchup with Oregon's Dillon Brooks. And The Iron Men's hopes are likely resting on the coattails of North Carolina's Brice Johnson. Both of these squads are facing a heavy deficit, so a lot of things must go their way if they want to crawl back into the race. We'll see how it all shakes out over this weekend's games!

Here's a look at the final scoreboard, standings and statistics for the Sweet 16.
