Fantasy College Hoops: Saturday - Round of 32

After a relatively uneventful Round of 64, Saturday's games were full of surprises. None bigger than Wisconsin knocking off the #1 overall seed and defending champion Villanova Wildcats. By pulling the upset, Wisconsin's Ethan Happ (12pts, 8reb, 3ast, 2blk, 2stl) eliminated Jay Wright and a quartet of Wildcats. Jalen Brunson (11pts, 2reb, 1ast, 2stl), Kris Jenkins (6pts, 2reb, 1ast, 1stl), Josh Hart (19pts, 3reb, 1stl) and Mikal Bridges (7reb) shot a combined 12-for-33 from the floor and 1-for-11 from behind the arc. The Hammer is now playing with house money, as Happ was the lone Badger drafted.

Saturday's final game featured its top performer, Caleb Swanigan (20pts, 12reb, 7ast, 1blk, 1stl) in Purdue's 80-76 victory over Iowa State. The super sophomore has posted 44+ in each of the first two rounds and now has a date in the Sweet 16 against Sunday's Kansas-Michigan State winner.

Here's a look at the scoreboard for the Round of 32 and current league standings heading into Sunday's games.
