NC State just pulled off a huge win over Wake Forest on the road, coming back to win 79-77.
And the Wolfpack could not have done it without the services o

Jarkel Joiner and Terquavion Smith were right there alongside Burns, dropping 17 and 16 points each. The Wolfpack made 8 of their 17 3-point attempts on the afternoon and hit 46% o their a
