Every day NC State stays alive, his legend grows. Yesterday especially.
He dropped 29 on rival Duke to advance to the Final FourĀ He got aĀ shout outĀ from Nikola JokicĀ He madeĀ every tough shot
He’s also playing for the darling of the tournament.
Reminder: NC State was 17-14 on March 9They’ve won nine must-win games in a row, and they wouldn’t be here ifĀ thisĀ didn’t go in ā
Fitzmagic13 @fitzmagic13Crazy that if Virginia just makes this FT or if NC State doesn’t make this miracle 3, their season would’ve ended here. Greatest story in sports right now. #MarchMadness pic.twitter.com/zIcYcWlixh
