Feb. 21—STORRS — James Bouknight's return to the UConn men's basketball team didn't work out quite as planned.
The former Husky star and current Charlotte Hornets rookie guard, sitting in the front row opposite the visitor's bench, was ejected by referee Mike Roberts during No. 24 UConn's 72-61 win over Xavier Saturday afternoon at Gampel Pavilion.
It didn't exactly mar the Huskies' victory, their third in a row, but did provide an entertaining side show to the students who attended the game.
The front-row seats at UConn basketball games, somewhat affectionately known by regulars in Storrs and Hartford as the "Gucci Seats," come with an admonishment and a few basic rules about decorum.
