Imagine paying in the upwards of $4000 only to have Zion go out 10 seconds into the game w an injury. Yikes

I can't imagine paying $4000 to see Zion play a full 40 minutes.

Dude should sue the crap out of Nike. Fuck Nike selling their cheap ass shoes made in some third world country for $300

We beat them pretty good at their house recently, and we don't belong in the Dance.

Holy Crap. We just beat the Tiggers tonight in Red Stick. That was unexpected.* We might just sneak in the Dance after all if we can win a few more.

* Hey Nutria, did you know that its been 1089 days since LSU beat UF in basketball?

Somehow Duke-UNC shooting worse than the Bucks. Combined 3-34 at the half from 3.

At least they get up and down and let their talent play, though. 42-32 Heels.

Not so fast. The bubble is usually weak enough that a few top tier wins and being above .500 in a power conference will get you in. Florida is likely in due to the win today.

That is nothing. I recall about a decade ago a fan at Providence threw a dildo onto the court.

Hope Zion is OK, but even if he tore an ACL, he isnt really going to lose anything financially. He is still going to be the #1 pick regardless.

He'll lose if he can't come back 100% from it. Sure he'll get that first contract. So did Oden.

Oden was the #1 pick and got paid, not sure how sitting out in college would have helped him at all. Let's be honest, if your body is a ticking time bomb, you aren't going to be able to stay healthy long enough get a big second contract in the NBA, college or no college.

Looks like it is just a sprain, fortunately. It appears Zion may only be out a short while.

Didn't know Zach Smith was a Providence fan

Am I supposed to care about "Zion" and his injury?

BREAKING NEWS...fuck off.
