Summitt falls short of 1,000th career win

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 to help No. 2 Oklahoma beat 12th-ranked Tennessee 80-70 on Monday night in Oklahoma City.

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

Paris had nine points and 12 rebounds before fouling out with 38.2 seconds left.

Also: Bob Knight would consider returning to the sideline if the right coaching opportunity presented itself.

"It has to be a situation that I think is right for me, and one where I would be right for the university," Knight told ESPN Radio.

His name has been linked to the opening at Georgia, but Knight said he has had no contact with the school, and Georgia hasn't said it's interested in Knight.
