UConn fans are getting excited about their team. After a 10-day lay-off, the Huskies went down to play Geno's old boss (Debbie Ryan) and UConn assistant coach Tonya Cardoza's old team (the unranked, though buzzed about, Virginia) in the Cavaliers' fabulous new John Paul Jones arena.

Neither homecoming was a distraction, as the game quickly became a blowout. Led by Kalana Green, who finally played up to Auriemma's "in practice" praise, the Huskies shot a stunning 65.6% for the game on their way to a 96-50 win. Greenes's 21 points came on 10-of-12 shooting, and was complimented by Renee Montgomery's 17pts and freshman Tina Charle's 12. Charles had 6 of the team's 10 blocks, and Virgina was held to a lowly 27.4%.
