Message: [QUOTE="sun, post: 4753031, member: 11664"] Tennessee has the longest active particiption streak for being selected to the NCAAT. That gives them a notch in their belt that UConn can only try to take away. The fact that they've held on to that streak for so many years gives them a record of accomplishment that rivals UConn in its own right. It has become one of those rivalries based on national popularity that creates some extra media attention & hype because they're a storied WCBB program. It's not as strong of a rivalry as if they were able to beat UConn but IMO it's still a rivalry. Their fans still have some strong negative emotions towards UConn. Last time they played Rickea & Edwards got into a tussle on the floor with double intentional fouls called. Everyone could see the emotions spilling out The year before that it was #7 Tenn vs. #10 UConn with Evina playing in the game. The UConn - Tennessee rivalry can't be so easily dismissed.
