KNOXVILLE, TENN. — The greatest rivalry in women's college basketball resumes today when No. 1 Connecticut takes on No. 2 Tennessee.
Before a sellout crowd of more than 24,000 and a national TV audience, Connecticut (15-0) and Tennessee (11-0) enter the showdown unbeaten.
The Huskies are beating opponents by an average margin of 40 points. The Vols are winning by an average spread of 24 points.
Connecticut has beaten then-No. 3 Vanderbilt and current No. 3 Oklahoma. The Huskies are playing only their fourth road game of the season and are fresh off a 112-43 Big East rout of Pittsburgh on Wednesday.
Tennessee will be making its first appearance at home since November. During an eight-game road trip, the Vols downed No. 5 Stanford and No. 11 Duke. On Thursday, they beat No. 15 Florida.
This game is billed as a matchup of UConn's five veteran starters against a youthful Tennessee team.
