"This is nothing new for the coach Geno Auriemma's Huskies, who have dominated league play since their first national championship season in 1995. That comprises their time in the "old" Big East, the American Athletic Conference and the "new" Big East. Since 1994-95, the Huskies have lost just 20 regular-season games to league foes, none of them in American conference play. They've had perfect regular-season conference records 19 times and are on their way to a 20th."
"While the UConn-Tennessee series might not have the same luster it did when these programs were the twin Goliaths of women's hoops, it remains an important matchup. The Lady Vols are the only ranked team UConn has left in the regular season, as no other Big East team is expected to get into the Associated Press poll. By contrast, Tennessee is one of 10 ranked SEC teams."
No. 1 UConn hosts No. 14 Tennessee in the 28th meeting of a marquee rivalry. Tennessee re-entered ESPN's women's college basketball Power Rankings this week after dropping out in December. UConn is the last undefeated Division I women's team; Vanderbilt's loss to South Carolina left UConn alone. Tennessee is the only unbeaten team in SEC play at 6-0. Tennessee is the only ranked opponent remaining for UConn in the regular season, while Tennessee is one of ten ranked SEC teams. UConn has dominated conference play since 1995, losing only 20 regular-season league games since 1994-95 and recording 19 perfect conference seasons.
