..and rekindle interest in a once very relevant rivalry that has, really, seen it's day...a decade ago.

As the article says:

"Tennessee beat the (Stanford) Cardinal for the title behind Candace Parker. That was the Lady Vols' last of 18 appearances in the Final Four. Meanwhile, UConn was embarking on a decade-plus of unprecedented dominance in women's college basketball."

Candace Parker is now 32 years old and is the youngest of the famed UT/UConn stars who have faced each other in games that matter.

Pat Summit is, of course, no longer here, but Holly W. still uses her approach of recruiting athletic hoopsters and having them use their athletic abilities to beat most teams. However, they no longer play D and rebound like Summit's teams did. And who knows if Geno will be around in 2020? If not, this move is a total marshmallow.

If UConn wanted to schedule a home and home against a relevant SEC national contender, Geno should've called Vic Schaefer at MSU.
