Message: [QUOTE="MD#12Fan, post: 4524198, member: 8636"] A start to the discussion might be: what everyone's definition of a rivalry is. It may be more than just 2 good teams playing each other. Does there need to be an incident or some kind of animosity between the players, schools, fan bases, states, locations, etc. Would you consider Dawn to be on Geno's coaching "tree"? They have an amiable relationship. Dawn worked with Geno on USA basketball. That's probably a tight bond. I say it's not a rivalry. Also, they haven't been great at the same time. Like Federer and Djokovic. UConn's gotta win one of these to get a rivalry cooking. Need a little back and forth. Remember after Federer beat Roddick at the US Open (I think), they asked Roddick about the rivalry with Feds and he said his 0-11 lifetime record versus Federer didn't constitute a rivalry. We need to beat SC with SC at the top of their game. Ali-Frazier. Go Huskies! [/QUOTE]
