2011 NBADraft.net: NCAA Basketball Fantasy Player Pick-Em
Three rounds of the NCAA Tournament are now in the books and Tyler has taken the early lead in the 2011 NBADraft.net’s NCAA Fantasy Player Pick-Em. Tyler’s team has accumulated 298 points and currently owns a 56 point advantage over the second place team chosen by Aran. Tyler’s team not only has the highest point total through three rounds, but his team also contains the most players still participating in the NCAA Tournament. His team is led by Brigham Young’s Jimmer Fredette, who leads the tournament in scoring with 66 points. Borko, the two-time defending champion suffered a couple of key losses in the round of 32 and is currently in fifth place.
The highest selected player to be eliminated is Purdue’s JuJuan Johnson. Johnson was the first selection in the second round and ninth overall. Johnson isn’t the only player selected in the second round to be eliminated: Ashton Gibbs (Pittsburgh), Ben Hansbrough (Notre Dame), Tu Holloway (Xavier) and JuJuan Johnson’s teammate E’Twaun Moore were also eliminated. The highest scoring player eliminated from the tournament is Jacob Pullen with 60 points. The lowest scoring players drafted onto teams through three rounds are Scottie Hopson (Tennessee) and John Selby (Kansas) each with four points. The most productive pick made in the final round was Jon’s selection of Richmond’s Kevin Anderson (39 points).
The highest scoring player not selected onto a team is Shelvin Mack (Butler). Mack is currently sixth on the scoring list with 45 points through three rounds of play. Five of the top ten and 30 of the top 64 current scoring leaders were not selected onto teams by our esteemed panel. However, of the 30 undrafted players only eight remain active in the tournament and four play for Virginia Commonwealth.
The teams are listed by rank with total points and a player-by-player breakdown also included.
