There was a time when a game, no matter how talented the opponent, would bring a sellout crowd at UConn's home games. While the Huskies annually rank near the top of the heap in attendance, it is a sign of the times that even UConn needs to come up with packages to try to get more tickets sold.

So UConn has come up with a 2 for 1 ticket deal for the Dec. 20 game against Iona at Gampel Pavilion and the Dec. 23 nationally-televised showdown between UConn and Stanford at the XL Center.

Orders can be placed by going to UConnHuskies.com and clicking on the "Buy Tickets" link in the Ticket Center. Fans can then click the "Promotions" link and enter the promotional code "HUSKIES".
