Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 4189163, member: 5798"] The 10th-ranked UConn women’s basketball team finishes off non-conference play against longtime rival No. 7 Tennessee tomorrow. It’s been 27 years since the UConn-Tennessee women’s basketball rivalry began. Back on Martin Luther King Day 1995, the No. 2 Huskies hosted the No. 1 Lady Vols in Storrs in the first meeting between the teams. Tennessee was the nation’s best, with three NCAA titles over the previous eight years to set the standard in the sport. UConn was a program trying to prove its place among the nation’s elite after its first Final Four run four years prior. All attendees to UConn athletic contests will be required to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test. For more information on the policy, click [URL='https://uconnhuskies.com/news/2022/1/6/general-uconn-adjusts-admission-policy-for-home-athletics-contests.aspx']HERE[/URL]. Sunday's game is a WHITE OUT! Fans coming to the game are encouraged to wear white. The UConn-Tennessee game will be the second-ever women's basketball game [B]on FOX [/B](not FS1). [ATTACH type="full" alt="1644095796716.jpeg"]72992[/ATTACH] One of the sport’s best rivalries grew from that first meeting when UConn upset Tennessee. Three months later UConn topped Tennessee for the program’s first national championship. In the 12 years that followed, UConn beat Tennessee 13 times in 22 meetings — including six straight wins from 2002-04. The series ended after 2007 and didn’t start up again until 2020. UConn swept Tennessee in the home-and-home series the last two seasons. The rivalry was renewed for another home-and-home last June. Tennessee is coming off an 84-59 loss to Florida last Thursday. This season, Jordan Horston leads the Lady Vols with 15.6 points per game. Tennessee leads the nation with 49.9 rebounds per game. The Huskies own a NCAA-leading 11 national championships compared to Tennessee’s eight. UConn also leads the all-time series 15-9, including four meetings in the national title game. While Geno Auriemma still leads the Huskies (14-4, 9-0 Big East), Tennessee (19-3, 8-2 SEC) is on its second head coach since the legendary Pat Summitt — Kellie Harper is in her third season.
