NC State quote of the week

This quote is from NC State coach Dave Doeren discussing Armstrong.

“Our team has embraced him in this role, and we’re rallying around him,” Doeren said. “Super excited to see what he does with this opportunity in his finish. He’s handled this, as Aydan [White] said yesterday, like a grown-ass man. It couldn’t have been said any better.”
