247Sports CEO Shannon Terry joins the show, as he, Trey, and Jerry discuss Zion's return to action (0:40), the holes in R.J. Barrett's game (1:57), and whether Zion's return immediately makes Duke the best team in the country (3:51). Jerry explains why taking an early shot is not the same thing as poor shot selection (9:48). Shannon and Jerry go back and forth on whether Virginia's play style helps or hurts them in March (13:45), and Shannon explains why he thinks De'Andre Hunter can be the No. 3 overall pick in the NBA Draft. To close out the show, there's some spirited discussion of whether Alabama is a deserving NCAA Tournament team after a stunning come-from-behind win over Ole Miss (19:50), and Jerry gushes some more about Zion's instincts and basketball IQ (22:43).

On the debut episode of the 247Sports College Basketball Show, Trey Scott and Jerry Meyer survey the college hoops landscape and pick out some favorites (and not-so-favorites) to make a run in March. Will Duke ultimately benefit from having to learn to play without Zion? Is it Kentucky's turn to hold the SEC Crisis Conch after getting blown out by Tennessee? Why do we remain unconvinced by yet another Virginia team that keeps racking up wins? Trey and Jerry dive into these questions and also answer your questions, including whether expanding the lane would make the game better and whether putting up a fence around your home state is a viable recruiting strategy in 2019.
