The Holy Land of Hoops

just saw it- 538k viewers. 2nd best ever for regular season game, 1k behind Georgetown/Mich St game 2 years ago.... best conference game yet....

Great rating, was expecting 300k.

How does that compare to what ESPN gets either for a snoozer (say, FSU-Wake), or for their 'money games' (Duke UNC)?

I believe the regular season college basketball rating record on FS1, is February 1, 2014. Georgetown vs Michigan State. 539k. So, was I right, that G'town/MSU is the highest regular season game?

ESPN2 games I have used in the FS1 thread for examples, draw a lot less than ESPN games for some weird reason.

I honestly expected a bit more based on the twitter activity. But I follow mostly sports people.

It's amazing that the highest rated regular season college game of all time is still The Sweater Game between #1 St. John's and #2 Georgetown at the Garden. An 8 share and 2.9 million viewers.

Great rating. But I wish we could have gotten that extra 2k to beat the GTown-MSU game. Would have liked a conference game to have the record.

There was some show on espn2 this summer and it was tons of twitter activity. Think the show had maybe 200k viewers. Many thought it would have been over a million viewers they way it was going on twitter.

I don't think a regular season Big East Conference game has gotten over 300k, until last night.
