Summitt Is First to Win 100 Tourney Games

The [78-52 win over Perdue] not only sent top-seeded Tennessee to its annual regional semifinal appearance, but also made Summitt the first coach in Division I basketball history — men's or women's — to record 100 wins in the tournament.

Not Bad

Not bad for a girl, eh? :-)

But seriously, congratulations to Pat Summit! I think her best record is the number of graduates she gets from her program. That's the one to be most proud of.

For some perspective...

100 tourney wins is the equivalent of making 25 consecutive Final Four appearances. That's an insane number of wins.
