Tyler Zeller coming of age

Posted Mar 27, 2011
Tyler Zeller's trek through three NCAA games has been nothing short of spectacular. He's averaging 27.3 points, 8.7 rebounds, is shooting 57.4 percent from the field, and has hit 28 of 34 free throw attempts, good for 82.4 percent. He even dished out four assists in Friday's win over Marquette. "It's one of those things that once you do it once and it works, you build off of it, and that's what he's done," said teammate John Henson. (Fox Sports Carolinas)
