You can find the good in any bad situation.
Dennis Smith Jr. wants to believe this, even after an unusually difficult season at N.C. State.
“It’s all about perseverance,” Smith said. “I’ve always persevered through everything. I’ve never had a situation like this.”
Smith expected to be in Brooklyn this week with the Wolfpack with a chance to play for an ACC title and then go for more in the NCAA tournament next week.
Instead, N.C. State stumbled to a 4-14 record in the ACC and coach Mark Gottfried was fired on Feb. 16.
