Big East OOC Thread 23/24

[Hoophound]

This is a troll. The network and time slot is the only thing keeping the Big East tourney from clobbering the AAC and A10 in the ratings and everyone knows that. There is no argument to be had. It’s a ridiculous premise.

You just contradicted your argument. CBS leading program would take viewership from ESPN. You're correct about the fan bases. The AAC had a bigger fan base for those games.

Thank you for your interest in UConn basketball.

No. The pie itself is that much bigger, doesn't matter for AAC on ESPN that CBS is getting a bigger piece of the pie.

ESPN is cable and Fox is ubiquitous. Explain those ratings.

As of last year's Tournaments, even FS1 is in more households than ESPN.

Thanks. So this is just the championship game. I can see you got this information from this article which explains the relatively low numbers for the Big East (blames Fox).

If you want really big ratings for the BET you need a close game, Villanova or UConn, and for the Big East to lose a contract that has made it the centerpiece of an entire channel.

Butler won.

49-19 (13-10).

 

[superjohn]

Don’t want to be a jerk because many of us have been obsessed with realignment for over a decade and if you haven’t, honestly good for you. But Rice is so far away from being the type of team we would consider, it seems absurd to even discuss. What are we doing here.

The Rice NCAA tournament appearance in 1956 made a huge impression on OceanDoggie.

I assume his kid goes to Rice. We might as well add Vanderbilt.

Really looking forward to the Louisville DePaul game on dec 9, said no one - ever.

That might actually be really entertaining, comedically speaking.

UConn and Villanova, respectively, have the lowest and 2nd lowest rating in NCAA Championship history.

When does your logic crossover from just a coincidence to a trend? Quantitative over Qualitative all day.

UConn’s 76-59 win over San Diego State on CBS on Monday night was the least-watched NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship on record, with just under 14.7 million viewers tuning in for the 9:20pm ET start. The previous low was Villanova-Michigan in 2018, which aired on TBS/TNT/truTV

You get what you deserve for engaging with the A10 fan.

Leave for a day, come back & find out we’re expanding to add Rice.

Love this site

1. College basketball has been losing popularity over the years.

2. SDSU is not a household name, and the game was expected to be a blowout.

Yeah man every championship game going forward is going to be the least watched championship game of all time unless both teams in the game are Duke, Carolina, Kansas, Kentucky. Maybe it can maintain ratings if it's one of those 4 against a UConn or Louisville or UCLA. If it's any other school in that game, or 2 different schools, it will be the lowest rated game of all time. Every time.

College basketball is a niche sport at this point.

Good trolling though.

Then why is 2018 #2? Lol
Michigan has a huge fanbase, but couldn't overcome 'Nova's lack thereof.

No Championship played between '18 and '23?

Also, Uconn's drop was the biggest Delta from previous year of all time.

Explain?

More excuses and no facts coming...

Because it wasn't on CBS genius. And it was the biggest delta, because as I pointed out, the prior year was a Kansas/Carolina final, which will get ratings.

 

[OceanDoggie]

More excuses haha

They're actually just reasons, but I'm sure it's hard for you to differentiate. Good luck with your trolling.

 

[OceanDoggie]

Ok then, I accept your explanation. Go Huskies!!!

 

[FriarJ]

I just can’t believe he has waited since April to spring this level of troll.

We should make a list.

What other big cities have schools with basketball that nobody gives a crap about, including the people who live in the city they located in? I bet we could have one humdinger of a conference. We could call it the Big Who?

 

[HU5KIES]

Xavier down 5 to Oakland under 30 sec left.

 

[kobe]

Hello big east, how are we tonight?

 

[MDHuskFan]

I’m just happy the haters & trolls are back.

They ignored us mainly whenever we were getting beat by Northeastern & Wagner

You just contradicted your argument. CBS leading program would take viewership from ESPN. You're correct about the fan bases. The AAC had a bigger fan base for those games.

doing the lords work in this thread. keep it up.

Go Huskies!!!

No need to keep pretending.
