...not getting the Duke / St. John's game on Sunday? Dickie V gets to cover some game down south while Gus and Raf either call history or history thwarted.

Works out great for FS1. People who might never have taken the time to find out where they are on the dial, will now look for it. Hopefully, the bump it gets in viewership will continue. The Johnnies need to make a good showing. A win would be epic.

I didn't realize that. Thanks.

It's too bad it's not on FS1. Now hopefully the Johnnies get a win.

The good news: probably that the Fox broadcast will carry numerous commercials touting the Big East on FS1. Exposure for the channel will be there.

It's a shame it's not on FS1. Would force people to search and draw some attention and eyeballs to the actual channel. Advertising for FS1 while it's on Fox doesn't do as much, IMO.

I wonder if Duke when they were doing the contract forced it to be on Fox Network vs FS1.

Bill Raftery is not doing the game. It's Gus Johnson and Jimmy Jackson.

Raft probably calling one of the CBS games- either Ohio St/Indiana or Louisville/Pittsburgh.
