KNOXVILLE — All season long people have wanted to know what’s next for Pat Summitt and her Tennessee Lady Volunteers.
The Hall of Fame coach has always kept her focus on the next game, refusing to speculate about her future after being diagnosed with early onset dementia, Alzheimer’s type.
Sunday was no different in the final home game of the season that attracted 18,563 fans, the largest crowd to fill Thompson-Boling Arena all season.
The 10th-ranked Lady Vols, who have already gone through a disappointing season with the most losses on the court named for Summitt, celebrated senior day with a 75-59 win over Florida that put Tennessee in second place in the Southeastern Conference regular season.
They’ll face the winner of Vanderbilt-Mississippi State in the quarterfinals of the conference tournament on Friday.
