2000s: Best Rivalries

Alas, the teams last played on Jan. 6, 2007, as Pat Summitt canceled the series following a longstanding feud with Geno Auriemma, who once referred to Tennessee as the "Evil Empire." The decision has cost women's basketball fans the sport's best rivalry. The teams played 14 times in the 2000s, including three national championships and one Final Four (all won by UConn), and regularly drew high television ratings. The Huskies won the majority of the games during the decade (9-5), but the Lady Vols swept the final three meetings behind superstar Candace Parker (pictured).
