Tonight in Bridgeport, Geno conducts a chemistry experiment: Brittany Hunter might start (in place of Charles), and Lorin Dixon might not show up at all-- she spent Monday on campus taking an exam. (An exam? What is she, a college student?)

"She's a typical freshman," Geno says of Dixon, "who wants everything to be the way it was in high school... During this particular weekend, at least, I'm not inclined to reward Lorin with playing time."

Coach G remembers her last trip to Bridgeport, when her Blue Devils beat UConn two years ago. "I love playing here," she says.

The Longhorns and Huskies match up in the night's second game: the first will also set the Big East against the Big XII, K-State versus Louisville. So far the Big East is 2-0 in such matchups: there's still another one coming in West Lafayette.
