RE: ACC POWER RANKINGS (BASKETBALL)
Thanks Terry. It takes losing Colson for Louisville to win in South Bend. You all own us on your home floor, even though the games often go to OT.
Hopefully the Irish stay afloat in league play well enough that they make the tournament. It would be a fairly unusual situation for the committee. More often they are deciding how to include (and/or seed) a team that did well but has lost a star player for the rest of the year. This season, they could decide ND's resume warrants an 11 seed and play-in game for example, but will know Colson has come back to play 2-3 games in late Feb. & early March and will participate in the NCAA. You could end up with some unlucky opponents playing a ND team that is better in March with Colson than their resume would lead you to believe.
Not to mention, if he can make it make for the final few games and the postseason, you have the rapid improvement that teammates such as Geben have been forced to make. A Colson/Geben frontcourt would eat up every rebound they see.
