My Ditka-Your Butkis manage to beat The Hitmen 111-102

Both teams were unable to bring their A game, falling short of projections, but My Ditka-Your Butkis did enough to knock off The Hitmen, earning a 111-102 victory. The Hitmen leapt out to a 21-point lead on Thursday behind a stellar performance from Ezekiel Elliott (76 Rush Yds, 60 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD).
