TIM PEELER: Yow, Pack Hoping to Relive Fairy Tale

What follows “happily ever after”? Nearly a year after one of the greatest days of her Hall of Fame career, NC State women's basketball coach Kay Yow doesn't quite know what to expect when her team faces No. 3 North Carolina Sunday afternoon at Reynolds Coliseum. Last season, just weeks after returning from an extended leave of absence to fight her recurrence of breast cancer, Yow led her team to a stunning 72-65 Senior Night victory over the then-No. 2 ranked Tar Heels. Before the game started, the court at the Wolfpack's famed arena was named in Yow's honor. Inspired, her team jumped out to as much as a 26-point lead in the first half, blitzing the Tar Heels, seemingly with pure motivation. In a season where every player, assistant coach and staff member laid bare their emotions in support of Yow's courageous fight against cancer, the win over the arch-rival Tar Heels was a highlight. At least until the Wolfpack beat No. 1 and previously unbeaten Duke a week later in the ACC Tournament and then advanced to the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament. “Last year's game was a fairy-tale game,” Yow said on Friday. “It was a perfectly written script. It couldn't have been better in any way. It was an incredible victory.”
