Those numbers beat the NCAA Final 4 and Finals TV ratings from last year as well.

It took all 3 networks (TBS, TNT, and truTV) to get 16.3 million viewers to watch Kentucky-Wisconsin. UConn-Florida got 11 million viewers

The Finals got 21 million viewers.

The Big 12 vs PAC 12 Rose bowl had a rating of 21.7

The ratings for the CFB playoff games are still worlds away.

Putting that on cable hurt CBB almost as much as it's hurt CFB.

That was a great matchup. Last year the BCS Bowls not including the Championship game averaged 14 million viewers and an 8.2 rating. The Championship game got a 14.6 rating and 25.5 million viewers

Matchups typically dictate ratings.

Duke-Kansas in 91 had over 29,000,000 viewers.

Curious to see what the Championship brings.

Jim Mora is an asshole.

Bill Snyder had nothing to do with calling for that kneel down play where the KSU linemen went for the knees while the LBer dove over the top.

His kid recovered the onside kick butnhadnit taken away by eye-gouging Bruins (even though the UCLA player clearly caught the ball cleanly before being swarmed under).

Bruce Weber doesn't have a problem on his hands despite all of the comments after the last game...he's just too honest.


It was a totally different tone for Stan.

Stan is not going to go against the company line.

He's not a shill. He's Stanbot. Stan's always put on the glasses. He did it for Wooly. He did it for Prince. And he will do it for Bruce Weber.

I watched it. The games were entertaining but overall it was an underwhelming production.

Cable will always be like that. The constantly swooshing vagina graphic didn't help.
