Syracuse basketball players on Marek Dolezaj’s charge from Duke’s Zion Williamson: ‘Call 911’

Durham, N.C. — With nine minutes to play in the first half, Zion Williamson corralled a rebound off a Syracuse Orange missed shot and quickly dribbled the ball up court. The only thing standing between he and the rim was Syracuse’s 6-foot-10, 180 lb sophomore, Marek Dolezaj,

The crowd lit up with oohs and aahs, reveling in what was about to come next. Williamson was about to put Dolezaj on a poster.

But Dolezaj stepped in front of Williamson, stood his ground and drew and offensive foul. The sophomore from Slovakia took the brunt of the collision though, giving up 100 lbs to the dunking sensation, Dolezaj looked like he was shot out of a cannon.
