B/R AM: America Loves DJ Burns

This year's March Madness darling has been decided.

It's the footwork king AKA the vending machine magnate AKA DJ Burns Jr.

Every day NC State stays alive, his legend grows. Yesterday especially.

• He dropped 29 on rival Duke to advance to the Final Four 
• He got a shout out from Nikola Jokic 
• He made every tough shot
  

He's also playing for the darling of the tournament.

• Reminder: NC State was 17-14 on March 9
• They've won nine must-win games in a row, and they wouldn't be here if this didn't go in ↓
