CBKB: N.C. State coach Yow being treated in hospital

Associated Press

RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina State women's coach Kay Yow is continuing her cancer treatments in a hospital.

School spokesman Mark Kimmel said the Hall of Fame coach has been in the hospital since last week. She had been resting at home, but her oncologist — Dr. Mark Graham — advised her to enter the hospital for care.

Yow announced earlier this month that she would not return to the team this season as she continues her fight against a disease she was first diagnosed with in 1987. The disease first recurred during the 2004-05 season.
