About this listen

UConn vs. Tennessee isn’t just a rivalry — it’s the foundation of modern women’s basketball. In this episode, we trace the series from its iconic first meeting in 1995, when Geno Auriemma’s rising Huskies stunned Pat Summitt’s powerhouse Lady Vols, through decades of unforgettable moments featuring legends like Sue Bird, Diana Taurasi, Tamika Catchings, and Candace Parker. We break down the all-time series, defining performances, postseason dominance, and why this matchup still carries national weight today — capped by a look at the most recent meeting and what it says about where both programs are headed.
