refs are really fucking us here

3/24/2007 9:13:03 PM

you're watching a state game, do you expect anything different?

3/24/2007 9:14:01 PM

need some shooting. They have shut down goring.

3/24/2007 9:15:01 PM

nah

3/24/2007 9:15:07 PM

Get some stops

3/24/2007 9:18:09 PM

get a nice little run going and lets take the lead.

3/24/2007 9:18:27 PM

"if life kicks you, make sure it kicks you forward."

I like that

3/24/2007 9:20:01 PM

That was a beautiful shot

3/24/2007 9:31:10 PM

all that hustle and ends with a walk

3/24/2007 9:32:19 PM

Damnit

3/24/2007 9:35:30 PM

NEVER GIVE UP

3/24/2007 9:41:47 PM

key fouling out is big...we're done...but good run.

3/24/2007 9:46:24 PM

wow all ball AND a late whistle it seemed

3/24/2007 9:49:07 PM

Game

3/24/2007 9:49:51 PM

after that block called foul, (as if I needed more convincing), I'm just going to say that all refs hate NC State...apparently in all sports.

3/24/2007 9:51:42 PM

she's banked 2 in

3/24/2007 9:53:48 PM

valant effort ladies. Get well Coach Yow.

3/24/2007 9:56:54 PM

wow...


when the announcers said that the bandaids on her fingers were because her fingernails were just falling out...



I'm sure it would take a miracle, but I hope she is around to coach next year.

3/24/2007 9:58:08 PM

3/24/2007 10:00:44 PM

I was hoping they would win it all for her this year I hope she is back to coach next year. I love Coach Yow and I think she has done a great job! Thank you ladies for the great effort and season

3/24/2007 10:01:13 PM

Yeah there has been an article detailing how bad it has gotten for her, but her spirit is indomitable, I like the fact that she is continuing to do what she loves instead of sitting around feeling sorry for herself.

Seems like a lot of people didn't realize how bad it was after she returned to the games this season, but it was not because she had gotten better.

I like how everyone gave her a standing ovation when she left the game, even the UConn fans apparently...

3/24/2007 10:03:21 PM

Thank you, Coach Yow and the Wolfpack Women, for an incredible and inspiring season.

3/24/2007 10:05:51 PM

I hope she comes back. I only went to two women's game (one each the past two years), and I hope to go to another one senior year with her at the helm

Good season 'Pack. Both for the men and the women. Red & White game should have a Men vs Women or co-ed Red jerseys vs White jerseys scrimmage

3/24/2007 10:09:56 PM

Does anybody have any info on when the team gets back from California?

3/24/2007 10:12:57 PM

I seriously doubt that she will be around next year. If she's alive, she will be coaching, but she's in some serious trouble. I love her attitude though and thats probably keeping her alive longer than anyone else in her situation.

She can't beat it unless she believes. We'll see in a few months. I wish her the best.

3/24/2007 10:13:52 PM

^^ Maybe Nick (the Technician reporter traveling with the team) will have the information on his blog.

ya'll gotta stop saying shit like that. It is just making me sad and I wanna cry. I hope NCSU doesn't lose such a positive force. Her shoes will not be easily filled! GET WELL SOON COACH YOW!

^She's not gonna get well.

She is literally dying right in front of us.

3/24/2007 11:30:56 PM

I'm proud of the ladies. They left it all on the floor for coach Yow. Her spirit is very strong and will not be easily replaced.

^^ Aren't we all?

"Yow's season comes to emotional end By: Nick Jeffreys FRESNO, Calif. - Down 78-71 with .1 of a second remaining, coach Kay Yow remained focused as she sat on the end of N.C. State's bench. Her team out. Her season over. And her career possibly finished. But Yow sat there and dished out directions. She pointed her players to certain spots on the court and the Wolfpack passed the ball in. Then, as senior guard Marquetta Dickens caught the inbounds pass, time expired and the buzzer sounded. And that was it. Although Yow held in her emotions immediately after the loss, the post-game press conference was a much different story. Yow, with tissues in hand, led junior forward Khadijah Whittington and sophomore guard Shayla Fields to the podium. Whittington had tears in her eyes and Fields quietly walked up to her seat, not looking up once. After the coach made her opening statement, a reporter asked the two players what they would remember about the season. Fields said she would remember the fight in her team. Then Whittington described exactly how she felt about Yow. "The team will take a whole lot of life lessons from this year," Whittington said as tears poured from her face. For 15 seconds, Whittington tried to gain her composure. As she did, tears rolled down Yow's face. Yow's sister, Susan Yow, put her head down -- as did associate head coach Stephanie Glance. Glance's parents quietly looked on and assistant coach Jenny Palmateer teared up. "To have a coach that's able to fight for you. Through all that she's going through. There's so many times when I feel like giving up and then I see coach Yow and she never gives up. Sometimes it looked like we were down, but coach Yow, she still believed in us," Whittington said. "It teaches you a lot about life, never giving up when you want something. Pursue it. That's what I'm going to take from this season." After the players left, Yow said Whittington's words summed up what "coaching is about." She said it's about coaching people, not basketball. She explained how parents bring the athletes to their school and trust them with the players -- making them "parents away from home." "They come in at 17, 18 years old," Yow said. "We're going to have them until they're 22. And the thing is, it's a great time for growth, a great time for learning and we never want to forget that." As Yow sat alone in front of nearly 50 people, she quietly talked about her seniors and how the end of the season hadn't set in. She talked a little bit about the Huskies and then came the question regarding her future. Immediately, as though she had planned for the response, she said she had no immediate answer. Yow said a lot depended on how the chemotherapy goes and how she feels once it's finished. "I just need a little time to figure all this out," Yow said. But she's preparing as though she is sticking around. She talked about her plans for the offseason and where the team will go. While Yow said she wouldn't spend too much time on the court, she did expect to spend time talking with her players. "Since I can't work on the court as much like I used to, my part will be trying to talk to each of them and getting them sold on what they need to do, along with the staff," Yow said. After the team bus returned to its hotel, a small group of players' family and friends waited in the lobby. The group cheered as each player walked through the glass door. Every player smiled and most stopped to hug. For Yow, as she said after the game, it was a season which no one will forget anytime soon. "They've done a tremendous job for us this year. It's an incredible team - it's a team that will never be forgotten about," Yow said. "None of the teams have been forgotten about. This is just one that will stand out for everybody - our former players, fans, everybody.""

haha leave it to the chicks to make basketball a cryfest!

3/25/2007 2:12:29 AM

Women's basketball or not, if that article doesn't give you chills then you ain't a Wolfpacker.

Thank you Coach Yow. Don't give up.

3/25/2007 2:44:52 AM

We're all flying back (team, band, cheerleaders, coches) tomorrow (Sunday) leaving CA at 10am, and arriving around 5:30 at RDU, I believe. We'll be flying charter so coming in at what I think is the main private charter terminal. It's across from the UPS and Fed-Ex package shipping area.

Sad game today, but a good run. I just hope it wasn't Yow's last game. The refs really screwed us over today.

[Edited on March 25, 2007 at 4:01 AM. Reason : if people came out like they do for the men when they return from trips, that'd be pretty great]

3/25/2007 3:54:45 AM

sounds great, will you be coming to the campus?

1/100 chance of beating the cancer she has. Get real lady. I hope she makes it just as much as you do but I'm not kidding myself.

3/25/2007 10:03:59 AM

Women's team won't be getting back until ~6:45pm tonight, they didn't get out of Fresno until after 11.... Would be great to have a group out there to congratulate them
