Fantasy College Hoops: Championship - Monday

Commish already had the league title wrapped up but there were plenty of other story lines to follow. And while it wasn't the prettiest of games, North Carolina secured its sixth National Championship - and third under Roy Williams - with a 71-65 victory over the Gonzaga Bulldogs.

The teams combined to shoot just 34% from the floor and a frigid 26% from behind the arc. Joel Berry (22pts, 3reb, 6ast, 2stl, 1blk) was the only Tar Heel to make a 3-pointer. The MOP helped Famous Amos avoid a last place finish, with Joe "Crazy Legs" Conaghan finishing as league doormat.

Despite going 0-for-9 from 3-point territory, Justin Jackson (16pts, 4reb, 3ast, 1stl, 2blk) clinched 2nd place for Make Jim Nantz Great Again. Jackson's layup +1 with 1:40 left gave North Carolina the lead for good, as the Zags failed to score the rest of the way.

Here's a look at the final standings, as well as the  scoreboard and statistics for the National Championship.

Fantasy College Hoops: Final 4 - Saturday

North Carolina's Kennedy Meeks (25pts, 14reb, 1ast, 3stl, 1blk) followed up a career-high in rebounds (17) against Kentucky in the Elite 8 by tying a career-high in scoring (25) against Oregon in the Final 4. The senior forward shot 11-for-13 from the floor and dominated the Ducks on the glass. Fittingly, two offensive rebounds on missed free-throws in the last :06 sent the Tar Heels to their second straight title game. Roy's Boys will face the West's top seed Gonzaga on Monday night.
