Do UConn fans really support the game or just their own team? Yesterday was a good test.

There were about 7,000 at yesterday's game. About 4,000 who had bought tickets didn't show up.

Grade: B. Not great, but 7,000 is still a lot better than many other programs would produce in a similar situation.

Geno and his team, setting a good example (or just being masochistic), were there.

"Since I don't want to set a bad example, I'm going to come to the game," Auriemma said. "I'm going to sit there and be miserable."
