From ESPN:

"A year later, they lost to Louisiana Tech 76-59 in another such game for the AIAW crown.

Summitt recalled great difficulty in simply inbounding the basketball against Tech, let alone running any semblance of an offense.

No matter, she recalled telling former Louisiana Tech coach Sonja Hogg: "I'll stay in the game until we beat you.''
I guess she did stay until she accomplished that. And then she stayed and stayed and stayed.......
