Please help, am I crazy?

Hi...I hope someone can give me some objective advice.
I am 27 and my husband is 31. We've been together for three and a half years, married for six months.
Yesterday my husband came home and told me that a woman he works with asked him to go to a basketball game with her because her boyfriend can't go. This isn't just any basketball game...its the ACC tournament first round game in which my (not my husband's) favorite team is going to be playing. He's only been working with this woman for a two months and I haven't even met her.
I am sooooo conflicted about this. I feel that my husband should either offer to buy both tickets from her so we can go together, or he should not go at all. I don't feel it would be right for him to go alone with her. I can't defend why I don't feel its right...it just makes me really uncomfortable.
He's always had other girls as friends, and I've understood it. But I feel this situation is taking it a little too far. He says I'm crazy and that its just a basketball game.....
am I crazy??
Thanks for any advice.

I can understand your reaction, I guess, but thinking of it from the other side, if a male co-worker or colleague asked me to go to a
PS - To me it would be different if this was a work function where a bunch of people were going, to me this sounds more like a date. I mean doesn't she have any other friends? Or friends from her marriage - husband's friends that would want to go?
