Pat Summitt, winningest coach in D1 history, dies at 64

"Since 2011, my mother has battled her toughest opponent, early onset dementia, `Alzheimer's Type,' and she did so with bravely fierce determination just as she did with every opponent she ever faced," Tyler Summitt said. "Even though it's incredibly difficult to come to terms that she is no longer with us, we can all find peace in knowing she no longer carries the heavy burden of this disease."

My thoughts are with her family.
