THIS SHOULD BE FUN

Normally, I’d prefer to be seated on the sideline whenever I’m covering a game. This is the exception.
The UConn media contingent is baseline tonight and we’re right to the Huskies’ bench. That means we’ll be privy to Jim Calhoun’s sideline antics.
No coach likes to have the media so close by. That could lead to Calhoun being a little hesitant early on, but once the game takes over, I’m sure he’ll forget all about us.

The game is at the Allstate Arena, which also houses the AHL’s Chicago Wolves, who have a devoted fan base and many times draw better than the Blackhawks of the NHL. DePaul isn’t likely to fill the place — capacity 18,500 — but I’m curious to see what kind of atmosphere there is.
