Transcript of Chat with Tyler Zeller

Posted Apr 11, 2012
Was this years team close off the court? Tyler Zeller: "Yeah, we were very close. Our locker rooms were always fun to be a part of. We joked around and teased each other. It was a great group to be a part of." What's the roughest part about the NC/Duke rivalry? Are Duke/Carolina players friends off the court? Zeller: "Probably the physicality of it all. You know every game will be intense. We're always physical with each other." (ESPN.com)
