PHOTO GALLERY | IN DEPTH: FRIENDSHIP AND RIVALRY SPARKED ASCENT OF WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
University of Texas Athletics extends its condolences to the family and friends of former University of Tennessee women's basketball coach Pat Summitt, who passed away on Tuesday in Knoxville, Tenn., at the age of 64, just more than five years after being diagnosed with early-onset dementia, Alzheimer's type.
Summitt retired from her 38-year coaching career in 2012 as the winningest coach in college basketball history, earning 1,098 career victories and eight NCAA Championships. The Longhorns and Lady Vols have faced one another annually in women's basketball since 1982.
