Louisiana Tech vs. Tennessee: 1998 NCAA title game on ESPN Classic

[ESPNGuy]

ESPN Classic is doing a marathon of national championship games for women's basketball.

Here is the rest of the lineup:

From 1995: Tennessee vs UCONN - just ended
From 1996: Georgia vs. Tennessee - on right now
From 1998: Tennessee vs. Louisiana Tech
From 2004: Tennessee vs. UCONN
From 2010: Stanford vs. UCONN

Enjoy but I'm sad I have to go to work now and can't watch the rest of the games.

I know some of ya'll do wanna see the 1998 game but I miss our glory days and hope to see us get back near the top of WBB again.

98--wasn't that the year they destroyed us in the first 10 minutes? Not exactly a classic in my book. That game was a nightmare.

Yes, it was.......... We were playing great up until the championship game. Everyone thought it was going to go down to the wire. The Vols started out hot and never slowed down. We couldn't get anything going.
