Tennessee and Stanford, of course, go way back. Coach Summitt and Coach TV, of course, are both women's basketball legends.

But in a funny way, both are now fighting what they created. They established dynasties and raised the level of the game. As the game grew and got better, other schools have built great programs. Both still run elite programs, but they haven't enjoyed the same dominance -- the road is just tougher now.

Stanford and Tennessee are regular nonconference opponents, and they met earlier this year at Maples (in a game we saw). Stanford dominated for much of it, but then collapsed at the end. Because it lost that one, Stanford wants revenge. Because it was so close, Stanford knows it can win.
