No games for ACC teams on Wednesday night, so let's take a quick look ahead to Thursday night's matchup of NC State and App State. While NC State is looking to bounce back from a disappointing performance against Tennessee State, they'll get a big boost. Big ... as in 7 footer, Omer Yurtseven.
This N&O article has a great quote from Yurtseven on the time he's spent on the bench due to a 9 game suspension for eligility questions.
“I mean, sitting on the bench, like, how can I say it? It’s like you always smell the food but you never get to eat it,” Yurtseven said. “I think that’s how you can call it. That’s the perfect example.”
So what can we expect from NC State's new big man? I was just asked the same thing on Twitter.
A conservative season prediction would be 10 pts, 7 rebs, and a couple blocks. https://t.co/PF2HGKjNdX
