Pat Summitt tries for win 1000 tonight

A win against Oklahoma at their place won't be an easy task, but people know not to bet against the greatest.

Graham Hays of ESPN had a nice piece on Summitt over the weekend:

What has made Summitt special isn't her ability to change with the times or live by the ethics of times gone by. What has guided her to a coaching milestone never before reached is an ability to live outside the confines of the times.

I'm not sure if I agree with that, but Hays gets credit for his theory.

Game time is 4:30 PST, 7:30 EST.

It's interesting that on the Lady Vols schedule, this game was dubbed "Big Monday" long before they knew Summitt would be on the cusp of 1000 on that date.

Even Bobby Knight is going to call this game:
