It’s amazing what an emphasis on playing SUFFOCATING, LOCK-DOWN, DISCIPLINED, HARD NOSED defense can do for your basketball program.

Oh! But CUSA/CBSSN didn’t want to put us on TV this year because we aren’t fun to watch (I don’t know if that’s true but I mean come on)

curious if they also add in streaming on ESPN+. No cable here so was happy to watch it on Hulu/ESPN+

Glad we had the Wisconsin game on ESPN instead of ESPN2.   More viewers for a BIG10 “name” opponent takedown!

I was disappointed the NIT Final was on Espn2, and at a weird time 8:47CT after some lame slam dunk contest.

That rating is good for 7th highest cable rating of the night in P18-49, which is all networks care about these days. Likely one of the, if not THE, most watched UNT basketball game ever. 

For comparison, the Frisco Bowl in December did a .23, with 1,030,000 viewers.

Crazy UAB game right after was down to 79th, likely because it was later and being on ESPN 2. The high school basketball programming that came on after our game actually did slightly better.

Last night's ratings should be lower due to the time, network, and no "big" name school in it, and being opening day for MLB. Those will come out in a bit.

Last night did a .10 in the demo, with 370,000 viewers. Lower than I would have guessed. But with the national political news of the day, all the news stations did monster numbers during the prime time hours, in addition to MLB and NBA.

At least our ratings beat the 3 point challenge / slam dunk contest that came on before our game, although not by much!
