Summitt Mum On Series

2007-08-07T13:41:00.000-04:00

By JOHN ALTAVILLA | The Hartford Courant

If anyone expected Tennessee coach Pat Summitt to offer a better explanation about her decision to cancel the women's basketball series with UConn, they likely were disappointed with her response Monday when the Lady Vols' 2007-08 schedule was released.

"I don't want to take away from schedule we have," Summitt told reporters. "I'm really excited about the schedule."

And that was it.

Tennessee, the defending national champion, announced in June it would not renew the series that began in 1995 on ESPN and has helped increase the popularity of the sport.

It has been suggested Summitt is upset with UConn coach Geno Auriemma over a variety of issues and simply does not want to deal with the hype that seems to accompany each game between the programs.

Auriemma also has not issued a public statement.

While UConn has scheduled another road game with LSU on Feb. 25 to replace its trip to Tennessee, the Lady Vols will host North Carolina (Dec. 2), Rutgers (Feb. 11) and LSU (Feb. 14) at Thompson-Bolling Arena in Knoxville. All were Final Four teams last season. The Lady Vols defeated Rutgers in the national championship game. Tennessee will also play Oklahoma on Nov. 15 in Tampa, Fla., the site of this season's Final Four. There, Tennessee's Candace Parker will take on the Sooners All-American center Courtney Paris.

The Lady Vols will open the preseason against the United States senior national team on Nov. 4, a game that will feature UConn All-American Diana Taurasi against Summitt, whom Taurasi criticized in an interview with The Courant about the decision to stop playing UConn.

The Huskies also are expected to play a preseason game against the national team the first week of November at Gampel Pavilion. UConn's schedule will not be formally released for another few weeks.

What a bad day for women's basketball!

Tennessee decides to end series against UConn
By PAT EATON-ROBB, Associated Press Writer
June 8, 2007

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- Connecticut and Tennessee, the top two programs in women's college basketball, are ending their annual series, the schools announced Friday.

Connecticut had signed a contract to extend the annual game through the 2008-09 season, but Tennessee declined to extend the series.

"Although the University of Tennessee women's basketball schedule will not be completed and released for at least another month, Tennessee has elected not to renew its series with the University of Connecticut," Tennessee women's athletic director Joan Cronan said in a statement.

"The Lady Vol basketball team will continue to enjoy its rivalry games with teams from the Big East, the ACC, the Big 12, the Pac-10, and other conferences. Year-in and year-out, we pride ourselves on the strength of schedule we play and our RPI."

When reached by telephone, she declined to comment on reasons for the decision.

"We are disappointed for UConn fans, Tennessee fans and women's basketball fans in general who look forward to this annual event featuring the greatest women's basketball rivalry in the nation, as recently selected by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association," UConn athletic director Jeff Hathaway said in a written statement.

In the first meeting on Jan. 16, 1995, in Storrs, then-upstart Connecticut snatched the No. 1 ranking from the Lady Vols with a 77-66 win. Later that year, Connecticut completed its undefeated season with a victory over Tennessee in the national championship game.

Connecticut leads the series 13-9, although Tennessee won the last three meetings, including a 70-64 win in January that featured a dunk by Tennessee star Candace Parker. Tennessee went on to win the national championship.

The games are always nationally televised, and have always featured some of the nation's best players, such as Rebecca Lobo, Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi for Connecticut and Chamique Holdsclaw, Tamika Catchings and Nikki McCray for Tennessee.

Neither coach could immediately be reached for comment. But UConn men's basketball coach Jim Calhoun, serving as a guest sportscaster Friday on WVIT-TV in Connecticut, called it a poor decision.

"Tennessee and UConn clearly, clearly are the best two coaches in women's college basketball and that is the best game every single year," he said. "To give it up over some, I'm sure, small detail, is ridiculous. In my opinion, the game should be played every year."

Associated Press Sports Writer Elizabeth A. Davis in Knoxville, Tenn., contributed to this report.

Looking Back and Looking Forward

2007-04-04T18:20:00.000-04:00

Congrats to Tennessee on their 7th National Title. What an amazing tournament!!! The stories of Marist, Mississippi, LSU, NC State, and Rutgers made the tournament really exciting to watch. The NCAA needs to take look at the hosting requirements for the first/second rounds, but overall the playing field is getting more level.

Final Thoughts

2007-03-12T21:00:00.000-04:00

For the third time around and not really paying much attention until the final week of the season, I got 59 out 64 correct. Very disappointed that the committee did not select South Florida. I thought South Florida had a better resume than DePaul.

NCAA or bust

2007-03-11T14:26:00.000-04:00

The WNIT has been a stepping stone for many programs on their way up. The postseason tournament provides young teams a chance to continue their season and gain valuable experience. It doesn't seem to have much appeal to those who have already achieved success, though. Louisiana Tech coach Chris Long and Texas coach Jody Conradt have said their teams would not participate in the WNIT.

The Lady Techsters' hopes of a 26th straight trip to the NCAA Tournament ended on Wednesday with a loss to New Mexico State in the quarterfinals of the WAC Tournament. Texas, which lost to Oklahoma in the Big 12 quarterfinals, is holding out hope for a NCAA bid. The Longhorns host the first and second rounds of the tournament. Texas is at No. 31 on collegerpi.com and has played one of the toughest schedules in the country.

You know, you set your goals on going to the NCAA and that's still in the back of our minds," Conradt said after her team's loss to OU. "Hopefully something will happen and we'll get there."

Postseason WNIT Expands Field

2007-03-11T14:09:00.000-04:00

The WNIT is expanding its field to 48 teams this spring for the first time in event history.

The eight-team expansion will allow for an automatic bid from every conference. The WNIT is guaranteeing that each of the nation’s 31 conferences will automatically have at least one spot guaranteed for one of their teams in the Postseason WNIT.

The selection of the 48 teams for the Postseason WNIT will be according to the following:
1. Thirty-one (31) spots will be filled with one team per conference. That team will be the highest-finishing team in the conference’s regular-season standings, that does not advance to the NCAA Tournament. As in the past, the teams’ record must be at or above .500.
For example, if the second-place team during the regular season does not win its conference tournament, and the top-seeded team does (and earns the NCAA berth), then the second-place team automatically will be invited to the WNIT.
If the top-seeded team after the regular season does not win its conference tournament and is not invited to the NCAA Tournament, then it will have a guaranteed spot in the WNIT.
No matter which team from a conference wins its conference tournament, the WNIT will select the next best team available. That team is determined by conference tournament seeding based on regular-season standings.
2. The remaining seventeen (17) berths will be filled by the top teams available based on the selection criteria used in the past.

The 2007 Postseason WNIT will feature 16 first-round games, followed by 16 second-round games, eight third-round games, four quarterfinal games, two semifinal games and the championship. All games in the single-elimination format are played at the home facilities of participating schools.

The WNIT field will be announced on this website late Monday, March 12, following the NCAA Tournament selections.

Tech's Long says thanks, but no thanks to WNIT

2007-03-11T14:07:00.000-04:00

RUSTON, La. -- Louisiana Tech coach Chris Long turned down an automatic bid to the Women's National Invitation Tournament on Saturday, saying it's the NCAA Tournament or nothing for the Lady Techsters.

"Louisiana Tech women's basketball has been about playing in the NCAA Tournament," Long, whose team had been one of two that had been in every women's tournament since the NCAA first took them over in the 1981-82 season.

"We did not do enough this season to reach that goal. With all due respect to the WNIT, we are not interested in an invitation."

Long's announcement came three days after Tech lost 63-57 to New Mexico State in the quarterfinals of the 2007 Western Athletic Conference tournament, ending its hope for a 26th straight NCAA Tournament appearance.

Although no official bids will be made until after the NCAA Tournament selection show Monday, the WNIT had asked Tech athletic director Jim Oakes if the school was interested. And, because Boise State beat New Mexico in the WAC championship game Saturday, Tech (17-12, 12-4) had an "automatic bid" by WNIT rules, because it tied the Broncos for the regular-season title.
