I am concerned... did college basketball just end for the year?
The Final Four might be tolerable now that the talking heads won't be slobbering all over Zion for 60 minutes.
He's an incredibly talented freak of an athletic specimen who will be earning millions of dollars in a few months.
It was interesting to watch what he could do in the college game this year. He'll be moving on now and that's a good thing.

He also takes a lot of hits and doesnt get the calls,it evens out. But still glad he’s done.
ESPN just ran a segment of “what now” for duke Hahahaha. Effing idiots. How about give some respect to the teams that made it.
The CBS announcing crew wanted Duke in the Final
Four for the high TV ratings they would get. Coach K
and Zion are done and will not be in Final Four. It may
hurt the TV ratings, however Auburn, Texas Tech,
Virginia, and Mich. St. earned their way to the Finals.
Bottom Line: The Big Ten has a chance with Mich St.
to win it all.

He's a helluva player but this is my take too. Gets a little old hearing how gifted he is at every single thing he does
How refreshing to have a Final Four WITHOUT Duke, North Carolina or Kentucky.
Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, and Kansas are the
blue blood darlings of the sports media.of college
basketball.
Auburn had to beat both North Carolina and Kentucky
to get to the Final Four. Michigan St. beat Duke to be
there.
Unfortunately we made icons out of Coach K, Coach
Roy Williams, and Coach John C and overlook their
off court shortcomings.

So true seemed like after every good play for Duke one of the 3 announcers some how had to relate it back to Zion and give him more praise. All I know will be nice to not have to listen about him during the final 4 but I’m sure some how they’ll get their quota and mention him several times.
I felt like it was all year, every channel. All the ads were for him and when he was hurt they still talked about him/aired him a ton. It's like the rest of the team, including the number 2 and 3 recruits were nothing. It made me honestly resent Zion and it was nothing the young guy did. It was all what the media did.
Zion is a once in a generation basketball savant. It's not unusual that the talking heads can't drool enough about him. Part of our collective problem with this is the school he represents. If he were playing for Akron, the entire narrative would be different. The fact that he is a Dukie, and all that entails, seems to be, at least partially, a driving force in our reaction to him,
Zion is Cam Newton all over again. Their Fathers were proven to have been shopping their sons for money with zero repercussions from the "happily asleep at the wheel" NCAA.
There were only 3 good conferences this year.
The Big12 snuck a team in somehow though.
Watching Texas Tech in the tournament, I never came away feeling like they snuck in- stout defensive teams do not sneak they smother. I had an exchange on another thread about K State and Texas Tech and I fully expected each to make a deep run in the tournament. I posited my comments concerning K-State as depending how healthy they were and their top player, Dean Wade, never saw action and they were eliminated quickly. I saw plenty of Big 12 games this year and the fact that one of their teams is in the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament and 2 of their teams is in the Final Four of the NIT speaks that the league had good depth- only one team in the conference did not make an end of season tournament.
Why do you think the Big 12 wasn't good? Honestly it's just bizarre. FYI every metric disagrees with you.
guess i watched a different game , by all means keep bitching .

Basketball is a five-man game. ZW is one man. He's good. So are a heckuva lot of other college players, including many whose games will not translate to the NBA. Good luck to ZW, but the hyperbole used to describe his play and that of others wearing blue blood unis is always exhausting and unnecessary. But as some have noted, you can bet you'll hear as much or more about ZW and Duke during the Final Four games as you will about the teams and players who actually earned their way there, and that's a shame.
I didn’t read any other comments yet, but it’s just like Labron when he came to the NBA. The refs gave Cleveland the series over a much better Detroit team, my team. He could travel like a mother ****er, hammer people and charge without calls. It’s star treatment. I really never noticed it with Zion though, at least not to that extent. I really just wanted to say Detroit got robbed by them and Tim, don’t breath on him fouls, Duncan because of special treatment.
Thank you. I don't even want to imagine how many hangover barfs reading your post saved me after watching it on the DVR in the morning. There. Canceled and deleted.
His opinion. I think they were pretty good. Maybe not top 2 but in there none the less.
Yes, you can. There’s no rule saying over the back is a foul. If there is, please find it and post it here.
Refs call it all the time every game. You jump forward over someones back while hitting them and moving them to gain advantage and they call foul every time.
The Pistons lost in 2005 because Rasheed decided to double Ginobili & left Horry wide open in game 5. Also Been Wallace was overrated.
