This has been a fun week for basketball. ESPN's Rivalry Week has presented a whole bunch of great games from across the country, and many of them have gone down to the wire.

Tomorrow's games are the crown jewels. On ESPN2 tomorrow, back-to-back, we get to see the greatest rivalry in women's basketball (pro or college) followed by the greatest rivalry in men's basketball (pro or college). At 7 eastern, the #4 UConn women play at #1 Tennessee, and at 9 eastern, the #1 Duke men play at #17 UNC.

So if you have the chance, make some dinner, get a couple bottles of wine, and sit in front of the TV tomorrow for 4 or 5 hours of the most intense basketball you'll ever see.

ESPN has done a nice job plugging the women's game. It's great that they've included it as part of Rivalry Week, and it's great that they've got it leading into the Duke-UNC men's game.

I do wish they would have included a couple other women's games as part of the week-long celebration. Like -- how 'bout move the Texas-Texas Tech game to Monday, instead of Sunday, where it played in the shadow of the Superbowl? How 'bout Duke-UNC women as well as the men? How 'bout a Big Ten matchup?

Maybe we'll see more in time. For now, it will be nice to sit back and enjoy tomorrow's contests.
