Here are a couple of items from the Connecticut Sun (who play New York tomorrow in the first post-Olympic game).

First, former UConn star Rebecca Lobo will receive the inaugural Margo Dydek Award when the Sun host the New York Liberty on Saturday at 7 p.m.

That game could also mark the home return of former UConn forward/center Jessica Moore, who was signed by the Connecticut Sun. The Sun cut rookie Chay Shegog to make room for Moore.

Speaking of honors, UConn coach Geno Auriemma will receive a lifetime achievement award by the Montgomery County Coaches Hall of Fame event on Oct. 9 at Westover Country Club in Jeffersonville, Pa.
