Very interesting look back at perhaps the biggest year in this rivalry.... lots of comments from players, too.

Probably my favorite little piece of this article: "Taurasi made her debut in the rivalry with 12 points, including a catch-in-the-air-and-spin-around-for-a-layup that had jaws dropping. Afterward, Summitt said, "Four years of that, imagine. I don't want to think about it." Auriemma said of Taurasi, "When she matures, I hope she holds on to her freewheeling style, because it's kind of fun to watch."

UConn-Tennessee: Inside the year the rivalry hit its boiling point
Four games, including an NCAA final, between the Huskies and Lady Vols in 2000 further fueled a rivalry that took the game to its greatest heights.
