During the NC State’s nail-biting loss to Syracuse, Jarkel Joiner became the fourth athlete in Wolfpack men’s basketball history to record a triple double. He recorded 15 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds in the matchup.
Joiner entered elite company with that accomplishment. It was the fifth triple-double in program history. Julius Hodge, Markell Johnson and Dennis Smith Jr., who finished his career with two, all recorded at least one during their respective NC State careers as well, according to bet365.
The graduate student guard tied the team lead in points with DJ Burns and Jack Clark, shooting 6 of 17 from the field and 3 of 9 from deep. He played nearly the entire the game, logging 38 minutes in the loss to the Orange.
