1 PRO BASKETBALL: Carmelo Anthony’s life story includes a great deal besides basketball.

The book is called “Where Tomorrows Aren’t Promised” and is co-written by D. Watkins.

2 COLLEGE: The University of Connecticut’s Board of Trustees on Wednesday approved a new $70 million plan to build a 2,600-seat hockey rink on campus, a facility that will be smaller and much more expensive than originally anticipated.
