Former NC State Star Costner Puts Up 20 in Win for J. Cole and Team

J. Cole had a heck of a week. Drops an album that is pretty much universally loved, literally breaks Spotify, then heads straight to Africa to play for the Rwanda Patriots of the Basketball Africa League. But it was former State big man, Brandon Costner, that stole the show. Costner finished with 20 points (game high) and 2 rebounds. The matchup with Nigeria Rivers Hoopers was the inaugural game for the NBA-backed league.
