Tyler Zeller carries on after being singled out in Duke loss

Posted Feb 13, 2012
Tyler Zeller didn’t have a place to go. He couldn’t sleep. His teammates couldn’t cheer him up. Most of all, he certainly couldn’t turn on the television. So he spent the early hours of Thursday morning lamenting over North Carolina’s loss at the buzzer to Duke, and more specifically, why he was singled out as the reason the Blue Devils were able to overcome a 10-point deficit in the final three minutes.
