NC State quote of the day

These quotes are from Wolfpack guards Terquavion Smith and Jarkel Joiner reflecting on the bond they built this season.

“Me and T are like brothers,” Joiner said. “I love him to death. He’s an amazing person. Like, he’s a more amazing person than he is a basketball player, and he’s an amazing basketball player.”

“This is my big brother,” Smith said. “I take everything he said into consideration. Whenever he tries to tell me anything as far as on the court, off the court, [he is] somebody I know I can count on, and I just love him. I wish we had more time together, just to try to make it better, make the chemistry better.”
