I'm bored so I looked out how the AAC did on the same week:

COLLEGE BASKETBALL REGULAR SEASON: SMU at Cincinnati Sat 11:00AM-12:58PM 118 0.2 326 (ESPN2)
COLLEGE BASKETBALL REGULAR SEASON: Temple at Connecticut Wed 1:00PM- 3:21PM 141 0.1 178 (ESPN2)
COLLEGE BASKETBALL REGULAR SEASON: USF at SMU Wed 5:00PM- 6:59PM 119 0.1 92 (ESPN2)
COLLEGE BASKETBALL REGULAR SEASON: Tulane at Memphis Sat 6:03PM- 8:12PM 129 0.1 79 (ESPNU)
COLLEGE BASKETBALL REGULAR SEASON: Houston at Memphis Wed 2:00PM- 4:06PM 126 0.0 50 (ESPNU)
COLLEGE BASKETBALL REGULAR SEASON: Tulsa at UCF Wed 12:00PM- 2:00PM 120 0.0 34 (ESPNU)
COLLEGE BASKETBALL REGULAR SEASON: UCF at Temple Sun 12:00PM- 2:00PM 120 0.0 61 (ESPNNEWS)
COLLEGE BASKETBALL REGULAR SEASON: Houston at Tulsa Sun 2:00PM- 4:00PM 120 0.0 56 (ESPNNEWS)
COLLEGE BASKETBALL REGULAR SEASON: Tulane at East Carolina Wed 12:00PM- 2:00PM 120 0.0 43 (ESPNNEWS).

Given the inherent advantage and built in viewership that ESPN2 has over FS1 (5x as much viewers on average), AAC average was 102K while Big East was 114K. I think the Big East is doing pretty well .

99K this year vs. 83K last year. Not bad considering we were going up against the big bowl games this year.

I agree.
College basketball regular season ratings have been low for years, as college football has turned into the #2 sports in America behind the NFL. Sorry NBA & MLB.
Many blame the one and done, which I think is B.S. I think you have over 700 kids switching schools each year, that average fans don't know the players anymore. I'm not a fan of the polls and I wish they would use RPI or a new poll up to 40th for teams. Common fan doesn't see a ranking, they won't watch.

The endless replays by the officials at the end of the game has made watching TV hoops painful. There were 3 replays in the last two minutes of the IU v OSU game today. Yes they got the calls correct, but my gosh, this needs to be fixed. At the end of each replay one or the other coach called a time out. You can't take 10 minutes to play 2.

On rating that was low on ESPNU was last Saturday was a top 25 match-up with Baylor at Oklahoma 0.1 110k.

It would be interesting to see the ratings in each part of the country. The South (outside of NC) would have terrible college hoops ratings, but the Northeast and Midwest would be better, i would think.
