Last night my beloved Duke Blue Devils took the
court with college phenom forward Zion Williamson. After missing the final six games of the
regular season when his Nike shoe blew out causing a nasty knee sprain against the
Carolina Tarheels on February 21st, Zion commanded the court.
With just two minutes having elapsed at the
start of the game, Zion stole the ball from Syracuse’s Buddy Boeheim taking the
length of the floor and making a thunderous dunk.

A lot of folks were concerned
about Williamson’s conditioning after missing a month’s worth of games, but
those doubts were put to rest. The
285-pounder played a total of 36 minutes going 13-for-13 and scoring 29 points. He also had five steals, two assists, a block
and 14 rebounds.
Tonight, Duke meets the Tarheels in the ACC
Men’s Tournament Semi-Final Round. It’s
all about revenge. Carolina swept the Blue
Devils ONLY because the mighty Zion
was not on the roster. With the exception
of center Marques Bolden who is recovering from a knee sprain, Duke will be at
full strength.
Last night, Syracuse guard Frank Howard played
dirty by trying to trip Zion by sticking his leg out as Williamson was running
down the court. That was stupid. Zion must outweigh that popsicle stick by at
least 100 pounds.
Oh wow good catch by ESPN.— Basketball Society (@BBallSociety_) March 15, 2019
