Summitt denied 1,000th win in loss to Sooners

OKLAHOMA CITY — Pat Summitt's 1,000th win will have to wait at least another game.

Courtney Paris' record 112-game double-double streak came to an end, but Whitney Hand matched her career high with 20 points in No. 2 Oklahoma's 80-70 victory over 12th-ranked Tennessee on Monday night.

Summitt was denied in her first attempt at reaching the coaching milestone. She'll get another chance on Thursday when the Lady Vols host Georgia.

Paris had nine points and 12 rebounds and got a standing ovation when she fouled out with 38.2 seconds left. She waved to the crowd as she walked to the sideline.

Shekinna Stricklen scored 19 to lead the Lady Vols (16-5). Glory Johnson added 12 and Vicki Baugh 11.
