This is the herd wherever you may be and however you may be making this part of your day thanks so much I'm Doug Gottlieb alongside the lovely talented.

Joy Taylor welcome in to the herd calling us off for the day that's because he went on the broad overload.

The broad taking a taking a charge James Harden fouling out Scott Foster that that one that that's one of those games last night we'll get to what it means and why if you watch the first half of the broad and the lakeers and didn't watch the second half you'll be amazed when you click on the TV and go away that the the lakeers came back and won that game and the broad actually look great in it.

But there was a little bit of Kings Lakers game six Western conference finals to it.

So just kind of an amazing amazing night.

I want to start though with the story which continues to kind of ripple through the world of sports.

Two nights ago there was Duke versus North Carolina and it was as hyped a regular season game as we feel like we've had in a long time in college basketball and there's a couple reasons to it.

One let's not bury the lead we haven't seen a kid like Zion Williamson have we seen breakthrough college freshman absolutely but have we seen breakthrough college freshman that our six foot six two hundred eighty five pounds that jumped the way that he jumps places hard as the way he plays like.

No it feels like something a little bit different and then he's a dookie who you like like that's a little bit different.

You combine that with the fact they're taking on North Carolina it's the best rivalry in the sport of of college basketball and you know traditionally they've had great ratings anyway and then you factor in that yes PN smartly moved it to a later date then normally they play the latest they'd ever played it was the last day before the big boys came back to play.

He had former president Obama whose court side like you factor all these things in and I don't know anyone who considers themselves a sports fan that didn't have something family or a date that was at least watching just curiosity 30 seconds in he blows a tire and it wasn't just that he ripped a shoe I mean the entire bottom of the shoe rips off I mean look like some LA gear he was wearing.

And then the pundits start throwing things out and former players start ripping the NCAA.

Zion limps off he misses the rest of the game with the spring knee and we collectively lose our mind.

Yesterday we found out that Zai Williamson just has a mild knee sprain which is what it looked like thankfully kids going to be fine.

They're going to play Syracuse this weekend there's another side to that where Jim Bayheim the Hall of Fame head coach Syracuse after beaten Louisville in the same night.

Mistakenly hit a guy and killed him in a car like it's just so much bad come come from a night which could be so much so good in celebrating the sport.

And you know I was watching TNT last night if you watch Fox Sports one you know I got chance to co-host first things first last four days.

And I flew through Minneapolis and actually called a college basketball game on radio last night Minnesota versus Michigan I get to the airport getting ready to fly home and I watch Charles Barclay.

And he kind of nailed it like I want to get to there's a proposal that's being made which seems inevitable which they're going to open back up.

The chance for kids to come straight out of high school and go to the NBA.
