I had this game on just long enough to see that it was being played at the United Center. I'll be attending the Champions classic in a couple weeks at the United Center, my fiance grew up in Columbus and is a big fan of the buckeyes and I'm a UK fan. Hopefully this game makes them a little more comfortable and gives them a slight advantage in their game against the Bruins, I really dislike UCLA.
