UConn and Tennessee again?

Well not what you're thinking, but the men's basketball teams will have a home and home series to continue on women's basketball's biggest rivalry, even though they bitterly decided not to play each other for some time.

Do you guys think UConn and Tennessee are playing against each other because Jim Calhoun and Bruce Pearl honestly want to play against each other, or because of media and alumni pressure to have them play a basketball game against each other again? Though I want to say the former, I think it's the latter even though Tennessee especially became pretty good the last few years. Though this is still a good match to see, I think it's pressure to have them play each other.

    I think that anytime a rivalry exists between two schools, it should be dispersed throughout all athletic or even academic competitions.

    College teams change so much every season, so I hope that it will be a good game, but didn't Tenn lose J.P. Prince?

    I think both schools saw this as an oppotunity to renew a rivalry and get a big nationally covered game, and it's just a good opportunity for both parties.
