From Voepel, some background on NCSU coach Kay Yow, filed just in time for last night's signature victory.

Voepel: "There was something frontier-style wonderful about women's college basketball in the 1970s. What seems like so little now was so much then. And Yow was right in the thick of it."

Yow herself, on her medical status and her decision to return to the court: "I have Stage 4 cancer. I'm taking major chemo. There is nothing that assures me that next year I could do it any more than I could now."
