UConn-Tennessee is back, folks. Is it really a rivalry anymore? Maybe not. But the news still had the women’s basketball world buzzing yesterday, including alumni from both schools. It’s been over a decade since the two teams have played, so there are only a handful of active players left who were actually part of the rivalry.
But that doesn’t mean it’s any less exciting.
“To have the UConn-Tennessee rivalry renewed is very exciting for the basketball world. It is going to be a flashback to old times and all the great games between the two powerhouses of women’s basketball,” former UConn star Breanna Stewart said.
