Fantasy College Hoops: Final 4 - Saturday

The Wolverines rallied from a 7-point halftime deficit to the upset-minded Ramblers - finishing with a 69-57 victory heading into Monday's title game. Michigan's Moritz Wagner (24pts, 15reb, 1ast, 3stl) posted a monster double-double, ending Loyola-Chicago's Cinderella run to San Antonio.

Fantasy College Hoops: Final 4 - Preview

As we enter the home stretch of March Madness, the league championship is still up for grabs.

Hunter is clinging to a 2-point lead. But with his remaining duo of Kansas' Devonte Graham and Villanova's Jay Wright squaring off on Saturday, only one will survive.

Fischer (currently 2nd) is in the same boat as Kansas' Malik Newman and Villanova's Donte DiVincenzo go head-to-head for a chance to play for the championship on Monday. These two guards have carried the scoring load for Fischer and are peaking at the right time to pull off a comeback.

And while MIZFKU (currently 5th), Holden Menards (currently 7th) and The Hammer (currently 8th) have yet to be statistically eliminated, it is going to take valiant efforts to climb back into the race.

Here's an early look at the lines for Saturday's games involving head coaches. Please be aware there may be line movement between now and tip-off. So play close attention to where it ends up for any fantasy scoring implications.

Lastly, here are the starting lineups and standings heading into the Final 4.

Fantasy College Hoops: Elite 8 - Sunday

Sunday's top performer was Kansas' Malik Newman (32pts, 7reb, 2ast, 3stl) in the #1 Jayhawks' 85-81 overtime win against #2 Duke. The resurgent redshirt sophomore stayed in attack mode for all 44 minutes he played. Newman drained five 3-pointers and shot 11-for-12 from the charity stripe.

Both #3 Texas Tech and #2 Duke fell in the Elite 8, spelling the end for both Sean Miller is Innocent and Bill Self's Hairpiece. Fischer now looks poised for a head-to-head battle with Hunter for the league championship. We'll see how it shakes out in San Antonio next week!

Here's a look at the final scoreboard, standings and statistics for the Elite 8.

Fantasy College Hoops: Elite 8 - Saturday

Well it wasn't pretty for The Hammer - it rarely is when your team plays Florida St. But survive and advance is the name of the game in the second weekend of March Madness. Michigan's Moritz Wagner (12pts, 6reb, 1ast, 2stl) and Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman (9pts, 4reb, 2ast, 1blk) shot a combined 6-for-20 from the floor and 2-for-11 from behind the arc. None of that matters now, as the Wolverines emerge from the West Region after a 58-54 victory over #9 Florida St.

The Hammer still faces quite a deficit in the standings, but live to play another day. The odds are certainly stacked against them. But I think we can all agree that crazier things have happened in this tournament already.

Here's a look at the current scoreboard, standings and statistics.

Fantasy College Hoops: Elite 8 - Preview

Heading into the Elite 8, it looks like a 4-horse race. Sean Miller is Innocent is clinging to an 18-point lead, but is down to just one player - Duke's Wendell Carter Jr.

Hunter (currently 2nd) has Kansas' Devonte Graham, Texas Tech's Zhaire Smith and Villanova's Jay Wright. If the Jayhawks can take down the Blue Devils on Sunday, Hunter will likely head into San Antonio in first place.

Bill Self's Hairpiece (currently 3rd) has a dangerous combo of Duke's Marvin Bagley III and Texas Tech's Keenan Evans. If these two meet up in the Final 4, then you really have to like Bill Self's Hairpiece's chances of winning it all.

And Fischer (currently 4th) has Kansas' Malik Newman and Villanova's Donte DiVincenzo. This squad is more of a longshot than the others. But if their hot 3-point shooting continues, they can still make some noise.

Here's an early look at the lines for Saturday & Sunday games involving head coaches. Please be aware there may be line movement between now and tip-off. So play close attention to where it ends up for any fantasy scoring implications.

Fantasy College Hoops: Sweet 16 - Friday

Villanova's Omari Spellman (18pts, 8reb, 3ast, 2stl, 3blk) was Friday's top performer. The Wildcats looked like a well-oiled machine on offense, shooting 50% from the floor and burying thirteen 3-pointers.

Unfortunately it's too little, too late for Make Jim Nantz Great Again to make any sort of comeback. But if Villanova punches a ticket to San Antonio, I'm sure he won't lose any sleep over it.

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

Fantasy College Hoops: Sweet 16 - Thursday

The Hammer secured two players into the Elite 8 on Thursday night. Michigan's Moritz Wagner (21pts, 3reb, 2stl) and Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman (24pts, 5reb, 7ast, 1stl) helped brush aside #7 Texas A&M in a 99-72 rout.

Abdur-Rahkman is an interesting story, going from "Mr. Irrelevant" in the fantasy draft (Pick #70) to Thursday's top performer with 38.50 fantasy points. After shooting a frigid 1-for-12 from behind the arc in the first two rounds (vs. #14 Montana and #6 Houston) the senior from Philadelphia buried four 3-pointers against the Aggies. Looking ahead, the Wolverines will face #9 Florida St on Saturday with a trip to the Final 4 on the line.

Fantasy College Hoops: Power Rankings

As promised, here are this year's Power Rankings. Inside you'll find a brief recap with each franchise's remaining players, as well as who can expect to win it all on April 2nd.

With the championship up for grabs, let's dig in to Ace's Power Rankings for Fantasy March Madness!

Fantasy College Hoops: Round of 32 - Sunday

Despite losing a trio of players in the opening round, Sean Miller is Innocent has been, well... vindicated? After the first two rounds, he sits atop the league standings.

West Virginia's Jevon Carter (28pts, 4reb, 5ast, 4stl) was Sunday's top performer. The gritty, senior point guard shot 10-for-18 from the field, buried five 3-pointers and has an assist-to-turnover ratio of better than 4:1 in the NCAA tournament.

North Carolina's Luke May (13pts, 11reb, 2ast, 1stl) delivered a double-double, but the defending National Champions failed to reach the Sweet 16 after getting mauled 86-65 by #7 Texas A&M.

But Kentucky's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (27pts, 6reb, 6ast, 2stl) is the most intriguing player on Sean Miller is Innocent's roster. The freshman point guard is a stat sheet stuffer and is playing his best basketball of the season. Plus, the South Region is shaping up very nicely for the Wildcats. #9 Kansas State and the winner of #7 Nevada and #11 Loyola-Chicago are the only roadblocks to a Final 4.

Here's a look at the final scoreboard, standings and statistics for the Round of 32.

Fantasy College Hoops: Round of 32 - Saturday

When Commish drafted Seton Hall's Angel Delgado (24pts, 23reb, 5ast, 1blk) in the sixth round, he knew it was a gamble. And despite elimination in the Round of 32, the senior went out with a bang against the top-seeded Jayhawks. Delgado posted the league's lone double-double on Saturday. His 24-point, 23-rebound effort posted 61+ fantasy points, as he averaged an impressive 40+ fantasy points over two NCAA tournament games. But how will the rest of Commish's roster handle his absence moving forward?

Here's a look at the current scoreboard, standings and statistics halfway through the Round of 32.

Here's a look at the starting lineups and current standings as we head into the Round of 32.

Fantasy College Hoops: Round of 64 - Friday

For the first time in history, a #16 seed took down a #1. On Friday night, Virginia - the tournament's top overall seed - suffered a historic 74-54 loss at the hands of the UMBC Retrievers.

Michigan State's Miles Bridges (29pts, 9reb, 4ast) and Kansas' Devonte Graham (29pts, 6reb, 6ast, 3stl) tied for the Round of 64's top performance - 38.50 fantasy points. The cream is rising to the top in the Midwest Region. If that trend continues, these two will be a big reason why.

And only one owner - MIZFKU - made it through the opening round without losing a player to elimination. But Isaac Haas (9pts, 10reb) broke his right elbow during Purdue's 74-48 victory over CS Fullerton and will miss the rest of the season. So every owner effectively lost at least one player during the Round of 64.

Survive and advance... I guess it's easier said than done.

Here's a look at the scoreboard, standings and statistics after the Round of 64.

Fantasy College Hoops: Round of 64 - Thursday

For the second time in three years, Make Jim Nantz Great Again delivers the kiss of death to the #1 overall pick. Back in 2016, it was Michigan State's Denzel Valentine. Tonight, it was Arizona's DeAndre Ayton (14pts, 13reb, 1ast, 1stl, 1blk) and teammate Allonzo Trier (10pts, 1reb, 2ast) bowing out in the opening round, an 89-68 blowout to #13 Buffalo. Make Jim Nantz Great Again overcame the early setback to win it all two years ago. But even he might agree that this feels more like a nightmare than déjà vu.

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