Thanks to Mother Nature, there won't be a typical full house waiting UConn women's basketball coach Geno Auriemma and the Huskies to the Louis Brown Athletic Center but the Rutgers band is here and awaiting Geno's appearance with "where's Geno?" inquiries.

I have no idea what the attendance number will be but I'd be surprised if it was more than half full.

UConn, which is at the scene of its last loss to a Big East opponent, doesn't figure to take Rutgers lightly even if seniors Maya Moore and Lorin Dixon are the only UConn players on the squad when the Huskies lost 73-71 to the Scarlet Knights on Feb. 5, 2008.

I will be providing regular updates during the game on twitter @NHRJimFuller
