Can't help myself but ouch in the Atlantic 10 on NBCSN
UMass/URI 44K
Richmond/Fordham 30k
LaSalle/Davidson 27k
St. Louis/GW 25k

I thought they would be a bit higher since the CAA Title Game got UNCW-Hofstra got 117k

What are you talking about, add those 4 games up and they equal 126k, better than the CAA.

Big East Tournament viewership up +84% this year on FOX and FS1 combined, by far the biggest gain of any conference. @BigEastMBB

Nice to see but to be fair, last year, the Final was on FS1. I think you would see a nice increase anyways though...

Three things.
1)84% is huge! huge! A nice increase would be some under 10%.

2)Big East semifinals on FS1 were up 36% from 2015 on FS1.

3) 2016 Big East quarterfinals (4 game) audience up 17% from 2015.

So, the 84% is just not only because of the Finals from FS1 to FOX. Also, the timeslot was key at 5:30 ET. Avoid ACC on ESPN and the NBA on ABC.
