UConn has issued a news release stating that Tennessee has elected to end the marquee matchup between the two teams.

This game was always on TV, and brought a lot of new viewers to the game.

The various message boards are buzzing with the news, and wondering why.

Some say it's because ESPN wanted to move the game to February (typically it has been played in January), others say it's because Pat Summitt doesn't like Geno Auriemma and some of the comments he has made in the past, others say it's because she's upset that Maya Moore signed with UConn and she doesn't want to lose Della Donne, etc. etc.

Stay tuned for more buzz about this unfortunate occurrence.
