What you need to know: Butler hosts No. 5 UConn

“Praying for a perfect storm of unlikely scenarios to happen may not be ideal, but at least a sold-out Hinkle Fieldhouse will be watching the women’s basketball team for the first time ever.”

A sold-out arena is great for women's basketball and also to keep the team on its toes in a hostile environment.

What if the majority of the people are UConn fans? It's happened before...

You know Ash will have a contingent there, and maybe some fans from WI for KK and Allie. Of course there will be a slew of kids wearing #5 jerseys.

Pretty decent preview write-up, IMHO. Nice to see things from the other side.

I googled for the attendance figure for HINKLE FIELDHOUSE. The report I
found report the attendance as 9,100. I did enjoy seeing those upper
level seat being filled. Nice for Butler and for UCONN (not to mention
the "SHADY" part section 107 (where the Shade Family and multiple
friends were assembled according to one announcer's report). BYT,
Kaitlyn Chen reported that a number of Princeton WBB assistant
coaches were at last week's Seton Hall game. Also, yesterday Columbia
U. beat Princeton U. on four free throws in the last 8 seconds!! They were
in a dead heat tie for first place in the IVY league prior to the game.

Maybe in that crowd of 9,100 there is the next Paige, or more closer to home, the next Ash.
