Message: [QUOTE="MSSportsGuy, post: 3615354, member: 6485"] 1. Mississippi State 2. Tennessee 3. Duke 4. UConn Let me explain: I always rooted for UT from my time in college and beyond largely due to geography, conference affiliation and Summitt. UConn came along and I had no problems with the program being so successful and saw that UT was no longer top of the mountain but I didn't diminish my desire to see them win. I lived for many years in Greensboro, NC, and became a fan of Duke women's team and made a few trips to Cameron to watch them. It's the best place I've ever watched a basketball game and while most of the ones I saw were against non threatening competition I liked the fans and the atmosphere. I loved Maya Moore as a player (also loved Bird) and cheered for UConn during those days but tipped my hat to Diggins when she and ND took down UConn in a few big games that were very exciting and reminded me of the old UT-UConn rivalry. Since joining this board a few years back and participating in the discussions I've grown to appreciate UConn's fans and program in a way I hadn't before. Most here are incredibly courteous and welcoming of fans of other programs and allow for some great discussions. I also respect Geno and what he has built. Summitt deserves her accolades but so does Geno and his impact on the sport is significant. McCray-Penson has her work cut out for her to keep MSU where Vic has it now and keep pace with the other SEC programs. Harper did fine overall this past season but has a long way to go, and it's going to take Lawson some time to reestablish a winning culture at Duke. I hope UT and Duke can begin to climb back towards the select company of the top programs but it won't be easy. [/QUOTE]
