'He's a dog': Against N.C. State, Garrison Brooks made sure UNC wouldn't lose

Posted Feb 26, 2020
It's no stretch to say that Garrison Brooks had one of the finest performances against NC State of anyone wearing Carolina blue this season. "He's a dog," freshman guard Cole Anthony said of Brooks' return from illness. "As a grown man, you might have to do things you might not want to do. You might not be feeling up to it. But he just fought through." (Daily Tar Heel)
