Most Watched College Hoops Ever

[bjf123]

The X / St. John’s game was the most watched college basketball game EVER on Fox Sports. Obviously, a lot of people didn’t change the channel after the end of the Saints / Vikings game, but still that’s pretty cool. Glad we won!

You mean they turned on the TV to watch the Xavier game and were treated to the end of the Saints/Vikings games as a bonus....

Wow that is pretty cool indeed... uh, I mean, I’m not surprised at all. We’re X damn it.

if this is true, and I have no reason to doubt you, then this truly is rather big. Superb PR for Xavier.

Well that means X can get into a another 5 star recruit's house and have them sign next fall. Also, X can charge more for tuition with more enrolled.

As ugly as the game was, maybe no one will ever tune in again. Hope not, but in person it was pretty ugly.

Reported by Cincinnati Enquirer: 2,300,000 viewers. Wow just wow!

You realize it was that high because the Vinkings/Saints game went into OT and spilled into our time slot right?

Wait...what? I prefer to believe the press would never mislead me. This is the sheltered and naive life I choose to live in.

Nope. This is the final adjusted rating.

Nope. This is the final adjusted rating.

So what does that mean? That is the number of people who kept it on for a certain amount of time or the whole time?

If so obviously it got a boost from the playoff game but nice to see people actually kept it on for a while.

This just in... Since Xavier has shown that people will tune in over a second NFL playoff game then they are in the fox primetime Sunday spot the rest of the year. Also Duke wants an early season home and home 10 year contract to up their publicity and exposure

It means people got drunk and saw X and St. John's battling it out and said this is a damn good game let's watch!!!

Tongue and cheek or is this real news?

I sure hope a lot of 4-5 star kids and their parents were watching!

It's just the average over the entire broadcast of the game. The NFL game peaked at 40 million viewers in the ot, so we had a nice little lead in. The initial non adjusted ratings report the viewership strictly on when the time period the game was supposed to air

[surfxu]

I kind of assumed those were about the numbers anyway... I mean this IS Xavier Basketball. I watch FAR less entertaining stuff when there is not a Big East game on TV. Flip or Flop, The Wiggles, A-10 basketball.

Definitely a little tongue
