I don't think the 'Steph Curry's' of college ball are new, though.  Teams have been jacking up 3's and nailing them at a high percentage for at least 5 or 6 years.  If the zone had an issue defending good 3 point shooters, I don't think it would have posted back to back seasons in the top 50 of 3 point defenses while in the ACC.  It's not a zone issue, imo, it's a personnel issue.

These trends are cyclical anyway.  The NFL is still a passing league and made the shift to being a passing league over a decade ago.  People thought the runningback position was basically going to die.  But now we're seeing much more emphasis on strong rushing attacks, and a lot of the upcoming stars in the NFL are halfbacks.  Somewhere down the line, all teams are going to have shooters by default, so the team that comes along with some traditional bigs who will score at a 65%+ clip in the paint against smaller stretch bigs will end up with an advantage.  Then the trend might move back in that direction until an equilibrium is established.
