#BIGEASTwbb Minute: Auriemma Passes Summitt As UConn Tops Butler

3/5 UConn 103, Butler 35
UConn head coach Geno Auriemma secured win No. 1,099 to move past the late legendary Tennessee head coach Pat Summitt on the all-time wins list. It came just two days before the Huskies visit Knoxville to take on the Lady Vols. Auriemma is just behind wins leader Tara VanDerveer (1,105) of Stanford. The Huskies were playing for the first time in 10 days but showed no signs of rust, scoring over 100 points for the second time this season as five players finished in double figures. UConn’s Olivia Nelson-Ododa and Butler’s Okako Adika tied for the game high with 18 points apiece.
