I think UConn wins, 77-65.
More importantly, I'm delighted to see a resurrection of the series. However rooted in reality or myth the ongoing angst over alleged past misdeeds strike me as ancient history - history that has long-expired relevance. The fact is that emerging levels of parity in WCBB is not only a fact, but cannot be anything but good for fan interest and for the game in general. U Tennessee is not, or at least is no longer, an evil empire, if it ever was one, and its fans, several of whom I've met over the years, strike me as pretty nice people, folks who harbor parochial biases similar to our own. We're only talking about women's college basketball here, not planetary vulnerability. "Hate" UT if you want...why not? Prior to this year, when it became kind of meaningless, I "hated" ND, which strikes me as a generally more worthy endeavor. But all of this only points to the value of great rivalries and what we should all hope will be their continuing relevance...great for the game!
