A surgeon walked into a hospital waiting room to meet with his patient’s family. “I have good news,” said the doctor. “All but one of your father’s organs are healthy enough to be transplanted into other patients.”
Similarly, all but one of the Notre Dame basketball teams we saw throughout the 2015-16 season is good enough to have postseason success.
The mid-season team that attacked the basket, got to the free throw line, and got defensive stops at key junctures in games is poised for success. The team that played fast in the regular season finale vs North Carolina State and in the second half vs Duke in the ACC Tournament has a chance to do very well.
