Haha. This is how I feel as well. I ultimately decided to bench Cliff Alexander because he only has 2 games, he is a freshman, and he is playing against 2 good teams. Then I just feel like Alex Hamilton might go off in like 3 out of 5 of his games.

But I'm really loving fantrax. It's pretty awesome seeing the schedule for the period and just knowing when guys are going to play.

So soon as a player plays 1 game he's locked in for the week right?

I have a guy who isn't playing tonight (shields) but I should keep him in the starting lineup because he plays this wknd and three times in the first week

Correct.

Looks like my fantasy team is going the same as my betting. Fucking terrible.

Actually nevermind maybe it won't be that bad. The scoring is just taking forever to update. All my guys were way off but it's starting to get corrected now.

Drame with 44.75.
Boatright 44.5.

Top scorers on the night.

Hoping to cash in on the magic of Kemba and Shabazz.

Really glad Wizhurd didn't steal him from me, like he did Shabazz last year one or two picks before I was set to grab him. I believed all year last season that Shabazz had that special quality about him that could lead UConn to another storybook finish. It's really amazing the string of guards the Huskies have landed over the past handful of years.

Helped that Purvis was out. He'll get a good 10-12 shots a game.

That's definitely a concern, as UConn is obviously a guard-centered team, but I'm hoping that last year's roles are reversed, in that Boatright has the reins while Purvis defers more for the betterment of the team like Boatright did to Napier. He better not be a selfish bastard.

Fantrax somewhat slow on the scoring with some of the lesser games. Probably going to take a little time to get all the numbers correct.

Niang put up close to 50.

AJ Hammons took all of 1 game to start disappointing me. And Dan Dakich picked him as B1G POY, confirming that he will be a total bust.

Zaid Hearst of Quinnipiac put up 55.75. Of course, he's a free agent.

How are you 7 feet tall and not grab a rebound? Block?

It's a mistake. Nash had like 22, 5 and 4, but it only has him at 22 right now. They must be feeding their scores from somewhere without complete stats for all games right away.

I realized this after your last post. When I said my team sucked earlier I had 2 players with at least 10 points and zeroes down the line. Was really pissed about Cameron Payne but checked Scorecenter and saw everything else so it made sense when I saw that post, lol.

It is really cool that it tracks games played, games current and games remaining. Makes it super easy to get your PPG at the end of the week.

Lol I said the same thing earlier... it had Matt Stainbrook with 11 points and nothing else... I was like how the fuck does that happen. Then went and checked the box score and saw he had 18 points, 9 boards, and 3 blocks lol. With all the games going on right now the site just isn't updating some players that well. All of my guys have had their correct stats within 30 minutes of their games ending though.

It's always good when your first round pick gets suspended for the first game. Don't know if he will play tomorrow yet or not.

Also, I have a feeling that a few of us will regret not taking Cinmeon Bowers from Auburn(JC transfer), dude is beasting tonight and Auburn has needed every bit of it.

Once again I have the worst WC of the year. Corey Hawkins last year, and it appears Jordan Reed wants to follow in his footsteps this year.

My sleeper pick of the year I chickened out and didnt start. Chris Perry for USF had 31.75 on my bench...ouch

LOL! Only team not over 200 points is mine. Fucking terrible just like my CBB betting.

Just checked again and saw that my team only played 6 games and not 8. 174 in 6 games is wayyy better than 174 in 8. That's what I get for looking at stuff right after I wake up without glasses on haha.

I had Dejean-Jones last year. Didn't start him because he pissed me off. Iowa State debut, 20,11,5. May have to play him from now on considering Iowa State always plays high scoring contests.

Scoring machine. But that has to be a career high in rebounds and assists lol.
