Paul Atkinson - Double figures in five straight Atkinson produced 17 points (7-13 FG, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 74-70 loss to Florida State. Impact The Irish have shifted to a four-guard lineup that has Atkinson at center and Nate Laszewski coming off the bench, and so far that alignment has worked to Atkinson's benefit. In the six games since the transition, Atkinson has posted averages of 13.3 points and 7.8 rebounds. Meanwhile, Notre Dame appears tournament-bound in what has otherwise been a down year for the ACC, though the Irish could solidify their spot with a win over Pittsburgh in the regular season finale.
