Just spend 10 minutes in the presence of UNC fans at the ACC Tourney and you'll right that ship, bud.

Worked for me.

Oh hell naw. I get that there’s a real Zion-overload issue. But I can tune it out, doesn’t matter to me really. But fuck UNC always.

3/15/2019 9:07:01 AM

I really doubt about what Zion can do in the NBA. I remember four years ago people praised Jahlil Okafor in the similar way. He won championship for Duke but now struggles in the NBA. The bottom line for Zion's professional future should be Kevin Garnett.

3/15/2019 11:00:15 AM

Lol. Okafor was never on Zion's level. Not even close.

3/15/2019 11:03:08 AM

People considered him as the next Duncan if I remember correctly.

3/15/2019 11:13:43 AM

Nope, different level.

And I really haven't seen/heard anything to make me dislike Zion, at all. The hype is annoying, but he seems ok.

I mean other than his parents got a nice new house in Coach's neighborhood but thats not on Zion.

3/15/2019 11:55:32 AM

I think hype only gets annoying when it’s unwarranted

he is the most deserving of the hype since young Lebron

Yes. The easiest way to tune it out is to just completely ignore ESPN. Watch the tournament on Raycom. They talk about Zion, but it's not the Duke Sports Network that ESPN has become. I mean their website has a feature on his 52 "best and most impactful" dunks of the season.

I mean the hype surrounding him is warranted. I don't see how people didn't think he was the top recruit in his class. He is a freak.

3/15/2019 2:38:53 PM

Let's see the real challenging game he faces tonight----how he will handle the pressure of the competition ppl want to see for a long time.

3/15/2019 2:43:45 PM

Yes, lettuce.

Absolutely. He's a lefty, and can dunk from the FT line. Literally speaking, his teammates just throw the ball in the air to the rim, he can somehow catch it, then the following is either a slam or a foul. He's like a mobile Shaq. He calls for ball not around the paint, but much further. He can change the rules of the game.

every time Virginia loses a game, it's good for the sport of basketball

3/15/2019 9:24:35 PM

Eat a dick UVA.

I hope Zion destroys the Holes and then proceed to get destroyed by the Noles.

3/15/2019 9:36:24 PM

^^Yes!

3/15/2019 9:39:31 PM

These UNC fans on Facebook are hilarious...

Before the game... now that Zion's back we don't want any excuses from you Duke fans

After the game... oh well you only beat us by one point I thought you were supposed to blow us out with Zion...

3/16/2019 12:50:43 PM

Lol at “supposed to blow them out”. It was like a 3-4 point Vegas spread

3/16/2019 12:58:58 PM

Yeah I think they were making up stories in their heads or some Duke fans were claiming a blow out the last couple games if Zion did play...

3/16/2019 1:28:34 PM

Tennessee fired Bruce for loving God too much. SAD!

3/17/2019 3:11:01 PM

LOL at the screw job we got. I looked at Belmont's schedule. They beat UCLA and lost to Purdue. They finished second in the league and lost in the final of their tournament. The rest of their schedule was made up of teams that I had never heard of. I'm not even sure what games were conference games. The OVC didn't deserve 2 teams.

3/17/2019 8:30:20 PM

Minnesota and OSU got in easily despite having a similar or worse resume. I am sure the ACC bargained them in in exchange for the 3 #1 seeds and having the Big 10 champion as the worst #2 seed.

3/17/2019 8:36:27 PM

that was one of the dumbest ways to lose a game I’ve seen in some time

3/21/2019 3:53:49 PM

That was a battle of who wanted to lose the most.

3/21/2019 3:59:53 PM

damn it, had belmont picked and that sequence was sooooooo dumb


Take the timeout, set something up don't just wait around like that

3/21/2019 5:35:49 PM

Hey y’all, who was that Duke basketball player who looked like Admiral Ackbar/ Ken Griff Jr Allergic from Simpson back in the day?

I can’t remember his name.

3/21/2019 5:55:09 PM

She-Will

3/21/2019 5:55:52 PM

Candace Parker’s ex-husband

Isn’t Parker into girls now?

Wake keeping Manning. Ooof, didn't realize it was quite this bad.

3/22/2019 10:17:25 AM

Teams I am in love with so far:

Murray State
Wofford
Cincinatti

3/22/2019 2:05:11 PM

Manning's contract is a little too high to buy out.

3/22/2019 2:13:37 PM

Uva...

3/22/2019 3:37:11 PM

I can't wait to see the memes that come out of another loss to a 16 seed. They must have just been shook af from the idea of it happening again and made it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

3/22/2019 3:49:08 PM

The fix is in, 3 weak fouls called against GW on one trip

"Cincinatti"

You know they arent in the tourney anymore right?

3/22/2019 4:07:29 PM

Their game started around 12:15-30 so I’m guessing it was still going on when she posted that.

3/22/2019 4:13:12 PM

and it's gone. dammit GW

Looks like UVA will advance, but you know some fans were sweating at the half

3/22/2019 5:10:06 PM

^^^^I know they lost, and I suspected they would when I made that post.

But they were fun to watch, and I love them.

3/22/2019 5:58:39 PM

Iona's offense looks so pathetic when their shots aren't falling

3/22/2019 11:07:51 PM

I'm glad LSU made Maryland fans all

3/23/2019 5:22:54 PM

Fuck the twerps, did they ever pay their bill to the ACC?

3/23/2019 6:08:54 PM

Happy that Maryland lost, but that was a clear travel. Dude took like 4 steps.

3/23/2019 6:16:29 PM

Purdue-Villanova is a massacre.
