Bonzie Colson had a difficult senior season that was hampered by a pesky foot injury. Notre Dame’s basketball program suffered because of it. As he prepares for his professional basketball career, it seems the pesky foot injury is hampering the former Irish star.
Expectations derailed
Early in the season, the Irish rolled, winning the famed Maui Invitational Tournament. But in the days before the start of the new year, Notre Dame’s season took a turn.
The Irish had played just one conference game, a 68-59 win over Georgia Tech at Purcell Pavilion. As they prepared for their ensuing game at home against North Carolina State, the team got bad news: Bonzie Colson had suffered a broken foot.
