NC State is on to Notre Dame on Wednesday night and hoping to put that gross performance at Clemson behind it. The Irish play a much more forgiving brand of defense, which is helpful, and they’ll also be without all-everything forward Bonzie Colson, who is out for the foreseeable future with a foot injury.
— Colson is averaging 21.3 points and 9.8 rebounds per game this season, doing his usual Bonzie Colson things; no doubt that this is a massive loss for Notre Dame, which wasn’t deep to begin with. Only seven Irish players, Colson included, average double-digit minutes per game.
