Summitt to be on GameDay Saturday at 11 am

Tennessee women’s basketball coach Pat Summitt, who is one victory away from her 1,000th win at UT, will be on the ESPN College GameDay set Saturday at 11 a.m. at Thompson-Boling Arena.

Summitt will be on the air with former Indiana and Texas Tech coach Bob Knight, who with 902 victories has the most wins among Division I men’s coaches.

The hour-long GameDay show, which will be set up at center court of Thompson-Boling, is open to the public free of charge. Doors will open at 8:30 a.m.

Knight will also be on hand Monday for his first women's basketball broadcast when Summitt tries to get the milestone win against No. 2 Oklahoma at Oklahoma City.

“Anyone who wins 1,000 times at anything is special,” said Knight in an Associated Press story.

Knight will be joined by Brent Musburger and Nancy Lieberman on ESPN’s broadcast.
