Message: [QUOTE="ctchamps, post: 4693750, member: 37"] Agree that PC is one of the teams UConn fans most want to see beat in the BE if standings were not a factor. They are geographical rivals for many fans. BC is no longer a rival but they are an example of how rivals can come and go without nostalgic regret. They were one of our first rivals early in our BE history. Even before they left the BE and trashed us with the ACC we lost the rivalry with them because we beat them so many times games with them were no longer as interesting. Another lesson on what's necessary to have a rivalry. As we got better the better teams in the BE became our rivals. First Syracuse, then Pitt and then Ville. Going to the Big12 will end geographical rivals but if we are at the top of the league we will develop rivals with whoever else in that league is good. [/QUOTE]
