Even though the school named after him didn't play yesterday, George Washington would've loved the great action Monday night. Maybe not so much the blow that Sterling Gibbs delivered to Ryan Arcidiacono's nose (not going to post in this blog but you can view here: http://sportsgif.com/sterling-gibbs-gif/), but definitely the excitement of the finish to the Kansas - West Virigina slugfest.
After trailing by 11 in the first half, Kansas rebounded to hold a one point lead with 8.9 seconds left. That is until, Juwan Staten drove the length of the court to score with 3.9 seconds left.
Kansas' Jamari Traylor wisely threw a full length Tom Brady-like pass to a streaking Perry Ellis who caught the ball in stride only to see his finger roll bounce of the back of the rim and out.
Even in the loss, yesterday's picks of Kansas players fared well. Particularly Ellis who has been stepping it up lately. He lead the Jayhawks with 19 pts, 5 rebounds, & 2 assists. Frank Mason kept up his double digit scoring streak by dropping 18 pts & dishing out 2 assists. Kelly Oubre continues to elevate his draft stock with a 14 pt & 7 rebound performance.
The Virginia-Pitt game also yielded some positive results from yesterday's picks. Anthony Gill delivered another solid performance by chipping in 12 pts & 6 rebounds. HiAt $6,200, you can't ask for much better than that. Jamel Artis didn't disappoint either. His higher price tag of $8,000 was well worth the 20 pts & 8 rebounds.
And don't forget about Monday's other games. Snowed out the day before, Miami and Boston College also played out a double overtime thriller while Butler survived a stiff test from Creighton.
Moving on to Tuesday of ESPN's rivalry week, there are plenty of exciting matchups and value plays for your lineup in 7pm ET games:
F R Gathers $9,300 - 30.79 fppg
Gotta love Gather's rebounding prowess and motor against the outmanned & undersized Texas Tech Red Raiders . Dude's a man child!
F B Dawson $9,200 - 30.47 fppg
Dawson should be up for a rivalry game against Michigan. Averaging a double double, he dropped 40.5 fantasy points against Michigan the last time they squared off.
F K Mitoglou $5,400 - 17.41 fppg
The 6' 10" Greek native is averaging 10 pts & 5 rebounds per game. He's been hot lately averaging 25.8 fppg.
F I Copeland $5,300 - 11.66 fppg
Lit up Seton Hall for 30.1 fppg in his last outing by hitting three 3's. If he can stay hot from three, then he's a steal at $5,300.
F D Knowles $5,800 - 21.33 fppg
Solid all-around player who stuff the stat sheet with points, rebounds, and blocks. Consistently scoring 20+ fppg.
G C Mann $6,200 - 21.65 fppg
Landed 23.4 fantasy points in his last outing versus South Carolina. Another consistent box score filler that has been averaging 11.29 pts/game & 5.46 reb/game.
G Andrew Harrison $5,600 - 17.10 fppg
Aaron Harrison's twin brother Andrew has had the hot hand of late averaging 21.68 fppg over his last 4 games. He may not be as natural of a scorer as his brother but he's much better at racking up the assists. On a team with future NBA all-stars to pass to, assists are another great way to rack up fantasy points.
G R Jordan $6,700 - 23.95 fppg
Averaging 28.28 fantasy points over his last 5 games, Jordan is a versatile enough guard to rack up some points against Georgetown. He's a talented scorer the also rebounds and passes well.
G I Cousins $6,400 - 22.43 fppg
OU has a nice complement to Buddy Hield in Isaiah Cousins. He's another athletic guard that can provide points for you in other categories than points. He's also a strong enough outside shooter to be able to score without having to venture into the lane against Texas' lanky big men.
