March Madness Fantasy 2016 - Round of 8 Results

The rich get richer during the Elite Eight, as four of the top seven studs from those games belong to Big Game Bob:

I don't know about you folks, but Perry Ellis and KU losing to Villanova was a lot easier to take sitting firmly in second-to-last place than if I was battling at the top of the leaderboard. Svi scored zero points in their loss, no surprise. Auguste had a disappointing final game for Gav, who is now out of players.

Hey, can we talk about Ryan Spangler for a quick sec? Yeah? Thanks. He was my second-round pick, and I chose him over the other OU guards because I thought he was pretty good, averaging a 10/10. In the tourney, he's averaged about 6/7. What a turd. A sweaty, sweaty turd.

Oh, Bob's already beaten his own record. He's got 743.5, and 3 players still active, including that Syracuse guy.





The Syracuse guy, Gbinije, is up to 153 points, and still trails Sabonis for now. Brice Johnson and Buddy Hield are also rising to the top.



Can any of the remaining players set a record for fantasy points by an owned player? Here's the record book:

239.5  Julius Randle Kentucky 2014 (1.5x bonus) 
193.5  Jarnell Stokes Tennessee 2014 (1.5x bonus) 
196     Frank Kaminsky Wisconsin 2015 
196     Kemba Walker, Connecticut 2011
194     Anthony Davis, Kentucky 2012
190     Cleanthony Early, Wichita St 2013 (1.5x bonus)


And perhaps now is a good time to evaluate our late-round draft dandies:

Landen Lucas gets my vote! 95 points without the benefit of the 1.5x multiplier! That's 3 more points than what I got with Perry Ellis, the top player taken from the same team with the second pick in the draft. Wowza! I'll be Chris and Jason Sudekis and Olivia Wilde had a good laugh about that at my expense.

I will probably wait until after the championship for the final analysis rather than post after the Final Four games. See you then.

March Madness Fantasy 2016 - Round of 16 Results

There were many blowouts in the Sweet Sixteen, but yesterday had two matchups that went down to the wire. Notre Dame (one owned player) beat Wisconsin (zero owned players). And Syracuse (one owned player) beat Gonzaga (two owned players). So farewell to Domantas Sabonis and Kyle Wiltjer, who had amazing runs. Sabonis is currently the fantasy leader with 171.5 points - the next highest owned player is from Bob, Syracuse's Michael Gbinije, with 120.5.

Also having nice games were Niang for Gav, Jenkins for Brian, Gill for Bob, and Ingram for James.

You know who sucked, though? Devonte Graham, again. He cramped his way to a 5 point game. Svi, the final-round selection, again outscored Graham, the first-round selection.

On Sunday night, I said that Bob would want a KU or Nova loss to push him to the seat of bird-cats, and I was dead wrong, and I'll be the first person to admit it. Bob still has 6 active players, and gets yet another game from the one and only 1.5x multiplier left, his Syracuse dude. 






The scatterplot shows Sabonis' dominance so far. He's doubled what Perry Ellis has done!



Right, so let's look at this again.

OWNERTOTALACTIVE_PLAYERS
1Bob590.0         2 Oregon, 1 Oklahoma, 1 Syracuse, 1 UNC, 1 Virginia = 6     
2Gavin586.0 KU's Mason III and ND's Auguste = 2     
3James542.02 UNC supporting players, 1 Nova, Virginia's Brogdon = 4     
4Shawn539.0Oregon's Brooks and KU's Selden = 2     
5Brian501.0 OU's Hield, 1 UNC, 1 Nova, 1 Virginia = 4     
6Chris480.0KU's Lucas = 1     
7Luke464.0Nova white guy = 1     
8Stu444.5KU's bench player, 1 Nova, UNC's Paige = 3     
9Dan379.5 1 Oregon, OU's Spangler, KU's Ellis = 3     
10Chuck286.5 KU's Graham, OU's Cousins = 2     

For Bob to fall out of favor, you need a Final Four of OU, Virginia, Notre Dame, and probably Nova. If that happens, Bob would "only" have two guys in the Final Four, while Brian would have three; if KU would advance, he could keep his two. If Nova and Notre Dame meet in the final, Brian might have a prayer, and if it's KU vs Notre Dame, Gav has a prayer. Even then, that prayer is probably "Please God, make a bunch of Bob's guys tear their knees in the layup line prior to the Elite Eight games."

March Madness Fantasy 2016 - Round of 32 Results

Before I show you the scores, ladies and gentlemen, let's remember that this whole thing is a dumb crapshoot and you can't blame yourself much for drafting a bad team, especially if you are the guy writing this. Hey, guy - you're a smart person and not a piece of shit who choked despite having the 2nd pick in the draft. Like, none of us drafted a single Wisconsin player. Do we feel dumb for that? No! That team is garbage that stinks like garbage, even if they did make it to the Sweet Sixteen.

So, what happened on Saturday and Sunday?

Some great performances were put together in losing efforts. The highly coveted Providence duo proved their worth in a loss to UNC, and Roosevelt Jones finished out his ninth year at Butler with style. Hield and Sabonis continued to excel.

Mr Irrelevant, a Utah forward who I still am not certain why I drafted, put up 1 lonely point in a crushing defeat to Gonzaga. He was better than Stu's Svi, who got 6 minutes of playing time, scoring one point and having that point subtracted by a turnover. Also in the bad group: two Xavier guys, a UNC backup, Oregon's shot blocker, and Luke's genetically superior Austrian NBA prospect.

So, Gavin has surpassed Luke for the lead, and is in the catbird seat with 4 players remaining. Or is he? Catbird seat? What is that? We'll breakdown the leaderboard and sort the contenders from the pretenders below. Not literally.




I am still proud of this stacked bar chart, even though that Cal guy and the Green Bay guy are on top of each other.



Players with the bonus multiplier are still the highest scoring, but Buddy Hield and other top-seeded players are creeping upward in value.

I mean, like I said above - am I supposed to feel dumb because I didn't pick some VCU guy? I do not. Kinda.

Looking ahead, let's see who's catbirding who's seats.

8 Stu 340.5 5
9 Dan 312.5 3
10 Chuck 267.5 2

1. Gav. He's still got 4 guys thanks to Texas A&M literally breaking Bill James' formula for when a lead is safe. A&M, Iowa State, KU, and Notre Dame could all potentially meet in the Final Four, but they won't. But if they do, congrats to Gav, the best of the best.

2. Luke. He's only got two guys left, and you guessed it, they're White. Duke's center and a Nova guard aren't gonna take him to the championship. 

3. Bob. This Kenpom stathead is rough and ready for more. His Syracuse guy should be bounced soon, but he's got a Virginia forward, an Oklahoma guard, two Oregon Ducks, and oh yeah, UNC's main man. If KU or Nova goes down soon, Bob might be catting birdseats very soon.

4. Shawn. He'll lose a player when Maryland and KU face off, and then lose another if OU and Oregon meet. Shawn's destined for the middle unless he can ride the Zag wave with Kyle Wiltjer to championshiptown.

5. Chris. Landon Lucas is averaging better numbers than expected, but who gives a shit, Chris is currently nothing but a Gonzaga jersey waving in the wind above the corpse of Denzel Valentine. Maybe they put up the jersey to help shield the corpse from the sun? It's a mystery. (He also has an A&M guy.)

6. James. He's got two Dukies, and two Tar Heels. If those two teams square off for the Division I Men's Championship, that would really work out nice for him. He's got a player each from Nova, Iowa State, and Virginia's finest Malcom Brogdon. If the Big 12 and Pac 12 fall, James could get up again, and you're never gonna keep him down.

7. Brian. Buddy Hield and Miami's McClellan are leading the way for him, and those two teams need to meet in the Final Four to give him the best chance to make up ground. The only man he has on the other side of the bracket is Virginia's point guard.

8. Stu. Five guys left, but really four since Svi barely plays. He really could have used Northern Iowa not suffering the worst loss of all time, but here we are. He'll lose Paige or Yogi Farrell when UNC meets Indiana, leaving him with Miami's Angel Rodriguez and a Nova guy. So it would have to be a Miami/Indiana final for him to have a prayer, and even then it's probably a really impossible prayer to a really insignificant god with very little power.

9. Dan. #1 pick Perry Ellis and also-rans from OU and Oregon. All on the left side of the bracket. Lame.

10. Chuck. Ouch, man. KU's lowest-scoring guard and an OU guard not named Hield.

March Madness Fantasy 2016 - Round of 64 Results

Let's briefly cover the First Four games. Luke and Chuck each lost a player with Tulsa's loss; Shaq Harrison gave Luke 53.5 in the loss, and Chuck got 27 from James Woodard.

Luke also had Shocker Ron Baker, who got 39.5 in a win, and Gav got his backcourt partner VanVleet's 38.

The real stud of the play-in round was the Ragin' Haitian Marc-Eddy Norelia, given to Brian as a fun punishment, who stacked up 53 big ones.

Now, on to the round of 64!

7 Chuck 2 16 Trevon Bluiett Xavier 2 13

Cal deserves mentioning. Three Cal players were drafted, including Tyrone Wallace, who broke his hand on Thursday. Unfortunately none of us noticed, so Brian earned zero points for that player. On the bright side, that's better than Chuck's Cal player, Jaylen Brown, whose 7 turnovers resulted in him earning negative one point before he fouled out. Chuck had more bad news from two other players - Graham only had 9 points despite Kansas' 100-point game, and Xavier's main man only got 13. Bob's Cinci guy was also a big pile of crap in their loss.

Shawn's Arkansas Little Rock player and Chris' Zag foreigner were the top point scorers, and both moved on to the round of 32.

Luke and Gavin are currently leading the way, sitting pretty with 6 and 7 players remaining. Chuck and Chris took the most damage, and have only 4 players left.



This stacked bar chart I worked so hard on is going to look bad the whole tournament, because of that Cal injury and that other Cal guy who was actually a worse pick than the injured guy.



As expected at this moment, the high seed players and their 1.5x multiplier are performing better than the 1-7 seed players.

Two-time Southland Conference POY Thomas Walkup was the greatest man no one drafted. Perhaps because he was drafted last year and got bounced in the first round by Utah?

March Madness Fantasy 2016 - The Draft

Wow, the world has just finished watching the first play-in game for the 2016 Men's Basketball Championship or whatever March Madness is officially called. Florida Gulf Coast dominated Farleigh-Dickinson, a school I refuse to take the time to look up the proper spelling of.

Last night was our fantasy draft. Let's take a look at the teams, and see how Florida Gulf Coast factors into our league.

BY TEAM

#1 overall seed Kansas had the most players selected, with 6. Well, 7 if you include Tyler Self, who was picked by Stu after I promised him a 15x multiplier for Self’s output. In case this incites a riot among owners, Stu selected KU’s Svi Mykhailiuk as Self’s replacement. North Carolina had 5 picks, and Oregon, Oklahoma, and Villanova each had 4 players drafted.

DOUBLING UP

James’s team was autodrafted, and as a result (and possibly by his design) he has 2 North Carolina players and 2 Duke players. Chris chose 2 Michigan State players, and Bob chose 2 Oregon players.

BY SEED

18 1-seed players, 14 2-seed players, 10 4-seed players, and 8 3-seed players were chosen. No 15-seed players were drafted. A 16-seed player was drafted only because of a “fun punishment” I implemented as a result of Brian missing the draft - Marc-Eddy Norelia of Florida Gulf Coast. That 6'7" Haitian just finished schooling the other 16-seed in the play-in game tonight, putting up 20/10/5. (And Brian gets the 1.5x multiplier bonus for that stat line.)

BY SEED 1-7

58/80 players were from teams seeded 1-7. Bob has 4 1-seed players. All of James’ players are from 1, 2, and 4-seeds. Dan has 6 players from seeds 1-3 (2 of each).

BY SEED 8-16 (1.5x BONUS MULTIPLIER TEAMS)

22/80 players were from teams seeded 8-16. 7 11-seed players were drafted, followed by 5 9-seed players. Chris and Gavin have 3 bonus players. Brian has 1. James has none. Everyone else has 2.

WHITE POWER

Known racist Luke drafted 5 white players.

WE’RE NOT NUMBER ONE

Luke is the only owner with no players from a 1-seed, which probably correlates well to those teams having few white players.

BY REGION

25 from the East (Chuck has 4)
21 from the South (Gav has 4)
20 from the Midwest (Bob, Chris, Dan, and Shawn each have 3)
14 from the West (Bob has 3)

Only Bob (the South) and Brian (the West) lack a player from each region.
