March is for NCAA basketball Madness and it starts with the conference tournaments. After 2+ months of beating each other up in the regular season, every conference goes to a major city in its region to battle again over the weekend to determine who is the champion, or at least the other champion and get that automatic berth to the NCAA tournament. In rare cases does it matter for a major conference in terms of the berth, but for the Duke Blue Devils, it was time for revenge. Led by the acclaimed most talented freshman in college basketball Zion Williamson, the Dookies avenged regular season losses to Syracuse (quarterfinals) and North Carolina (semifinals) before dispatching of Florida State for the ACC conference title. Williamson, who hadn't played in 3 weeks since he blew out a shoe and hurt his knee in a second regular season loss to North Carolina, led the way. Over the three games, Zion poured in 33 field goals on 43 shots, including 3-6 beyond the arc to average 27 points and 10 rebounds in a dominating effort. Zion looks poised to lead Duke to their potential sixth national championship and first in 4 years, and it looks like he may not be stopped. Zion Williamson is the Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
