    Four years ago today was Pat Summitt's last full day on Earth. She would pass away at 5:05 a.m. in the pre-dawn hours of June 28, 2016. Never forget #PatSummitt. Honor her memory. Back Pat. Always Back Pat. 💜🧡💙 @LadyVol_Hoops @WeBackPat @Pat_Summitt_LG

    Found it, @Candace_Parker. @debbieantonelli and Lailaa on the drums with #PatSummitt in December 2010. I am not a photographer, but I tried to point camera every which way and take pictures anyway.

    Six years ago tonight, the remarkable life of #PatSummitt was coming to an end. She would die at 5:05 a.m. June 28, 2016, just five years after being diagnosed with dementia. Alzheimer's is a wretched thief of time. Her legacy, though, can live forever. Back Pat. Always Back Pat.

    Five years ago, #PatSummitt only had a few hours left in a remarkable life. She would die at 5:05 a.m. June 28, 2016, five years after being diagnosed in 2011 with dementia. Alzheimer's is a brutal thief. Don't take a single breath for granted. And Back Pat. Always Back Pat.

    Pat Summitt used to say if you had to take a shot at her program to pump up yours, you've already lost. 😎

    June 27, 2016. The last night Pat Summitt spent on earth. The greatest coach in the game had hours left to live and passed away June 28, 2016, in the wee hours of the morning at the age of 64. Lift her up. Never forget her. And Back Pat. Always Back Pat.

    Please keep family of @NikkiMccray15 in thoughts and prayers. She has passed away after battling breast cancer a second time. @LadyVol_Hoops player, @WNBA player, @WBHOF inductee, Olympian @usabasketball and coach @RutgersWBB was just 51 years old. Heartbreaking.

    OK, @ncaa, ball is in your court. Time to stop holding championship events in any state that strips basic rights away from women.
