Is it fair for UC women's basketball, volleyball teams to play at St. Ursula?

The next time the University of Cincinnati women's basketball team hosts the NCAA powerhouse Connecticut Huskies it will be in a high school gym.

The more than 4,000 fans who attended the UC-UConn matchup in February will have to fight for a seat at St. Ursula Academy, which has about 1,000 seats. None of those fans will be cheering from behind the bench because there's only one set of bleachers.

The UC men's team will host UConn at Northern Kentucky University's BB&T Arena, which holds more than 9,000 people.
