Certainly the history of Uconn v Tenn is greater.  I am not doubting or arguing that.  However, Tenn has slipped to T25 status, and is no longer considered the elite.  While the talent is there, they can't seem to put it together .  To bill this as anything other than two old rivals with a lot of bad blood between them resuming play, is nothing more than media hype.  I personally don't care one way or the other that the two are playing again.  Do I think it will be sold out, yes.  Do I think a lot of college basketball world will be watching, sure.  Beyond that, it is another game where Geno and Uconn will mop the floor with their opponent.  The rivalry is long gone.  This won't restart it.  Geno, Pat and the collection of talent made that a great rivalry.  Those days are gone.  Talent is a bit more dispersed, and while Geno has shown how to keep a team at the top, Tennessee has fallen.  I prefer to live in the present, not the past.

I appreciate what the two did for the game of women's basketball.  But again, none of this can be replicated.  I am sure by the time the first game happens  we will all be sick to death of all the hype.  Quite frankly, I am already sick to death of the hype, and its day 2.
