Day 1,470, Quasi-Quarantine: Kool Mo D.'s Run Continues As State Storms The Sweet Sixteen

 

There are a number of incredible stories unfolding around NC State's seven-game run through the ACC Tournament and the first two rounds of the NCAAs:
  • The nation falling in love with big man D.J. Burns.
  • The late-game heroics of Mike O'Connell.
  • The emotions of Raleigh native D.J. Horne in helping the Pack to its first league title in 37 years.
But perhaps the best storyline of all is the relentless performance of Mohamed Diarra. Mo has caught fire in the postseason, grabbing an incredible 85 rebounds and racking up four double-doubles in the seven games thus far.

To do all this while fasting as part of his faith in honoring Ramadan makes his narrative all the more compelling.

Keep it rolling, "Kool Mo D." You've got this.
