Once UConn sports return, we’ll provide info for the week’s upcoming games in this space. Until then, enjoy some classic recommendations from the vault.
One of UConn women’s basketball’s fiercest rivals in its hallowed history has been the Tennessee Volunteers, who for many years were led by legendary coach Pat Summitt. Perhaps the most satisfying memory for UConn fans to relive in this rivalry is the 71-52 drubbing that Sue Bird and the Huskies laid down on Summitt’s Volunteers during the 2000 National Championship game, where Sue sliced and diced her way through a Tennessee team who had no answer for the savvy sophomore.
