Fifth-ranked North Carolina State plays a pivotal ACC matchup when the Wolfpack host No. 16 Louisville on Monday.
It is the 19th annual “Play4Kay” game, named in honor of late Wolfpack Hall of Fame coach Kay Yow to raise money for cancer research and honor cancer survivors. Yow died in January 2009 after a lengthy battle with cancer. The game is already sold out and will be televised nationally on ESPN2.
