Like the Hoyas trek. Eastern Washington, then Utah. Even Duke I think we match up pretty well with. And as far away from Xavier as possible lol.

yeah I like it- though not liking we may see 2 double digit seeds. We know that's kryptonite for the Hoya's the last several years.

The title game between Xavier and Nova got a 0.28 rating. Down 33% from last year's 0.42.
By far the lowest rated conference championship game. The other lowest was the 1.20 that the MWC and A10 both got.

The BE needs to get FOX to move championship game and maybe semi finals to regular fox network

yeah, I hate that the semi-finals probably weren't viewed much- that was Big East basketball as good as it gets.

Of course, Fox moving it off of FS1 only hurts FS1, so that's kind of cutting nose to spite the face.

where is FS1channel on your cable lineup? Mine is pretty high, 67

583. ESPN is 570.

mine is 219 for FS1 on DirecTV. 206 for ESPN.

espn and FS1 channels are close to each other for you. Not on my cable. espn is 36 espn2 35.

its definitely a problem for sure.

what today has started to do is help the perception with the tournament performance which is huge. Next year is going to be a crucial one for FS1- none of the excuses are going to be around next year. FS1 not a new network by then, good tourney performance, which will also help in teams getting ranked as well. It's almost like if we can't get fs1 good ratings next year, will it ever happen?

Wow the ratings for the entire tourney are out and just not good at all...
