Two longtime friends will meet tonight in Memorial Coliseum. University of Kentucky women's basketball coach Mickie DeMoss and Tennessee's Pat Summitt have been competitors in recruiting and in the standings, but tonight they will be rivals on the court.
When UK (9-9, 1-4 Southeastern Conference) plays host to top-ranked Tennessee (16-1, 5-0) it will mark the first time they will be on opposite sides since DeMoss left her mentor to take over the Wildcats' program in March.
DeMoss said she and Summitt are "like sisters." So far it has been an amicable sibling rivalry.
