 RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Surrounded by fans who stormed the court to celebrate North Carolina State's stunning victory, Kay Yow couldn't have asked for anything more. "What an evening this has been," the coach told the fans. "This is incredible."
Keisha Brown scored 16 points and N.C. State held off No. 2 North Carolina 72-65 on Friday night after nearly blowing a 26-point lead, giving the Wolfpack a huge win on a night when the university honored its longtime coach.
Marquetta Dickens added 15 points to help the Wolfpack (19-8, 8-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) snap a seven-game losing streak against their instate rival. And the win was the first on the newly dedicated "Kay Yow Court" — named in honor of the Hall of Fame coach known as much for her determined fight against breast cancer in recent years as her impressive coaching resume.
