Auriemma passes Summitt
With it being “We Back Pat Week,” it was only fitting that the late, legendary Tennessee Lady Volunteers coach Pat Summitt was honored and remembered for her accomplishments when UConn Huskies head coach Geno Auriemma surpassed her in career wins on Tuesday.
With the Huskies’ 103-35 beatdown of the Butler Bulldogs, Auriemma secured his 1,099th victory as a head coach, one more than Summitt’s 1,098.
