I normally would never choose to attend a DePaul men’s basketball game over a Chicago Blackhawks game, but there were several reasons why it made sense tonight. First, my mom was planning to attend the game I did. Second, we were bringing the Ultimate Sports Baby. Third, I was not sure how much we would have to pay for tickets outside of the United Center. Fourth, Nicole could meet us for dinner after the event. Fifth, and the main reason, I always wanted to attend a DePaul Men’s Basketball game …

There are two Big East games in Chicagoland tonight. First, DePaul hosts South Florida at Allstate Arena at 6:30 pm. Second, Marquette hosts Louisville at the Bradley Center at 8:30 pm – the better match up of the two.
Depending on timing, you could also attend both the Marquette and UW-Milwaukee games tonight. UW-Milwaukee hosts UI-Chicago at 7:00 pm at U.S. Cellular Arena. If that game ends quickly you could walk across the street and catch the start of the Marquette game.
