Fantasy College Basketball


With the NBA lockout about to extend into training camp, it's looking more and more like the season will be in jeopardy. However, fantasy basketball fans need not fret, because college hoops will start right on schedule. What, you've never participated in a Fantasy College Basketball League? It can be great fun, and a good way to learn about some of the lesser-known talent around the nation.

Most Fantasy College Basketball Leagues use only the top talent from the most prestigious conferences, and that's fine. However, it's probably more fun to draft players from the schools other than Duke, North Carolina and Kentucky.

One really radical idea is to start a Fantasy College Basketball Keeper League. Since players generally stick around for at least three years, this makes sense in the college hoops arena.

The main thing is to be creative, and set up a league that's simple enough to keep your owners interested, but also one that will stay compelling throughout the year.

Oh, and if you don't know who Adjehi Baru is, you better start looking him up now.
