Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better

Kelli Anderson, Sports Illustrated:
She'll be remembered by many for the support and encouragement she gave them, all of which came back to her in spades during her three battles with breast cancer. I'll remember her for her friendliness and her infectious energy, and for how she thought about the welfare of her players and her sport. Before I left Raleigh on that whirlwind road trip, Yow thanked me for the attention we were giving her team and women's basketball. She even gave me a parting gift, a pair of black Wolfpack practice shorts. The shorts are long gone, but I'll never forget the gesture.
