UIC and Illinois basketball teams are in action tonight. But you’ll have to go online to watch them, and it’s a bit confusing how to get access to ESPN3. Nevertheless, here’s when the games are.
↵6 p.m., espn3.com: College basketball, UIC at No. 4 Pittsburgh. Little local school takes on national power — sort of the basketball version of the college football cupcake game.
↵6 p.m., NHL Network: Bruins at Penguins.
↵6 p.m., ESPN: NBA, Jazz at Magic. Honestly, singular team names are just silly, especially when one of them doesn’t fit the city where the team plays.
↵7 p.m., espn3.com: College basketball, Toledo at Illinois
↵7 p.m., Comcast 100: AHL hockey, Wolves at Stars. The Stars are the top affiliate of the NHL’s Dallas Stars, and play in suburbun Austin, Texas.
↵7:30 p.m., CSN Chicago: NHL, Blackhawks vs. Coyotes. The Hawks keep trying to shake off losing at home.
↵8 p.m., ESPNU: College basketball, Louisiana Tech at No. 25 Texas.
↵8:30 p.m., ESPN: NBA, Clippers at Spurs
↵9 p.m., NHL Network: Islanders at Ducks
