Zion playing?

As far as I've heard he will play, but I've yet to hear an update either way

Zion playing?

I just checked the vegasinsider website and they have every game listed favorites and odds except Duke and Syracuse so they are waiting to hear his status as well

 

[douggie]

Duke opens as -17 favorite, so I guess Zion's retina didn't come out after all

I've been really disappointed in Cuse this year . I thought they were gonna be pretty good

Battle is a great player and probably ACC second/third team quality, Hughes is a good player, Brissett is pretty damn good, and past that is a stagnant walk it up court and slug it out offense. On defense their zone is anchored by 7'2" Chukwu who reminds me of a stand still scare crow in the lane. Losing to GaTech after just beating Notre Dame and Clemson shows how much you have to prepare for any and every team you face. You cannot take anyone in conference lightly. But they have a solid try of good players who can ball with anyone.

Battle is an interesting player . Very talented but I feel like he settles for jumpers wayyyy too much . Reminds me a lot of Tyler Cook at Iowa but Battle doesn't attack like Cook does. When he does he's special though

And now, a string of super depressing stats of Duke's offense vs the zone this year: Overall, Duke is shooting 42% vs zones and averaging 0.824 points per possession.

More:
The Blue Devils have hit just 20 of 79 spot up jumpers vs a zone this season. That PPP (0.604) ranks 345th in the nation.

Wow. Great stats. Kind of shocking

Was hoping this would have been a better Syracuse team. I thought from the beginning of the season their zone could give Duke a little bit of trouble. Their season isn't done at 11-5 but there are a couple bad losses in those 5.

You had your scare Saturday but tonight I think you will Cruise through the Cuse even though I'm not brave enough to lay the 17 points. Like you said, you've got prepare for all of them in this conference.
