Summitt Going for 1000
OKLAHOMA CITY -- I'm in Oklahoma City waiting to witness (basketball) history in the making. Regardless of what any doubters and / or naysayers say, one thousand wins in anything is an impressive feat. Especially, winning 1,000 college basketball games.
Tennessee's Pat Summitt has a chance to become the first head coach in college basketball history to win 1,000 games tonight as her basketball team, the Tennessee Lady Volunteers, plays the #2-ranked Oklahoma Sooners inside the Ford Center in Oklahoma City, OK.
Tip is set for 6:30 p.m. The game is part of ESPN2's "Big Monday"; and, ESPN's "family of networks" has paid plenty of attention to Summitt's spectacular achievement for the last few days.
This year's Tennessee is squad is very young and inexperienced; and, despite being 16 and 4, the team has not lived up to Summitt's very high expectations.
Tonight's game versus the red-hot Sooners, 18 and 2 and winners of 14 straight games, is an extremely formidable challenge -- especially combined with Tennessee's injuries and subpar play of late.
However, those long odds simply provide Summitt another opportunity to show why she's an amazing coach.
"Praise for Summitt Comes From All Sides"
