-----------------------------

Wow, look at the Big East. Disappointing that many people switched off after Kentucky blasted Arkansas when ours (objectively) was the better game with more riding on it.

[SMU Section F]

I wish they included the ESPN2 numbers as well. Even though they'd obviously be lower, I'm not sure they'd be as bad as FS1.

Obviously I hope the AAC can improve it's draw in the future, but I'm not disappointed by our number at all. Playing UConn undoubtedly provided a noticeably boost.

I think those numbers are very encouraging. We beat out the PAC12 final on ESPN, Atlantic 10 and Mountain West finals on CBS. We weren't too far behind the Big XII and would probably beat the SEC if not for Kentucky.
