1 more head to head game in the Big East, and that should be the last one unless some of our teams meet in the Big East tournament or NCAA Tournament.

Another great week for our 3 players. 2 of them with a weekly fantasy score over 1.0, which is phenomenal. David continues to improve and is really starting to come into his own off the bench. That game against Marquette was sensational in a losing effort, and the whole week was, as he didn't turn it over once. That's all you can ask for from a point guard. We really saw the difference in Al when he can stay out of foul trouble and stay on the floor. Against Oklahoma he was in foul trouble all game, but at Texas A&M he stayed on the floor and had a career game and another POTG. It's not often a player from the losing team gets POTG but he deserved it. Had he played decently at all against Oklahoma, he would probably have won another weekly fantasy contest. Rob wasn't terrible, but he is now back to coming off the bench, and that might have affected his play a little bit.
1 more week left in this "month" and then it's on to the postseason. Next week is conference tournament week. I thought about just having it be a separate category of its own, but there's always the slight chance that one of our 5 star recruits might not sign with a power conference team and would have their conference tournament a week earlier. So for safetys sake, I better include conference tournament week with the final "month" of the season and then have the postseason tournaments as their own separate category. I will welcome any thoughts on this.
