KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — In this season of lowered expectations for Tennessee, Pat Summitt still reached unprecedented heights: 1,000 victories. Summitt became the first Division I basketball coach — man or woman — to win 1,000 career games Thursday night as her 12th-ranked Lady Vols beat Georgia 73-43. It was their second chance in four days at giving their coach her latest and one of her greatest milestones. The Lady Vols (17-4), have seven freshmen on the roster.- – – -Contact The Daily Reveille’s news staff at [email protected]
