LSU visits Houston tonight, which means that Van returns to Cometland. "There's no question I miss Houston," says coach Chancellor, "but I don't want to come in here and look bad." (Is he going to throw candy?)

Another Houston-- Charde Houston-- seems to miss her starting role with UConn: she came off the bench for limited time in the Paradise Jam, which UConn won.

Geno seems to offer Charde backhanded praise: asked about her WNBA future, coach Auriemma says "She'd be great on a veteran team where she'd only have to play 15 minutes. She can do a lot for you." (Sounds about right.)
