bull_trojan Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 My takeaway UB women more or less > than Bona men? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuchMany Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Those men's ratings are fantastic. Nice to quantify the surge in interest that we all felt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rma Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 ha ha Bonnies draw less for a championship game on broadcast TV on the same network as the selection show than the women do for a run of the mill first round victory vs Buttgers on ESPN2. Bona should look at joining the MAAC, they would be much more competitive there than the A-10. On the other hand their annual loss to Niagara would count as a conference loss unfortunately.

xDerekRx Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Those are great numbers. Always wondered about this myself the last few years. Its amazing thinking back when I started following the team, I was joyous when Empire Sports Network threw a game on 1-2 times a season. I recall recording a CMU game on VHS maybe back in 2000-2002 area. Rewatched it 2-3 times just because I could! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weareub46 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Kinda surprised UB @ cuse isn’t up there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enrique14150 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Consider this too - some of those games were on at the same time. UB Men vs. Arizona State (12.0) and UB Women vs Rutgers (2.8). UB Men vs Texas Tech (14.0) and UB Women at UConn (3.7). I'm not sure if they're counting the same people (we switched back and forth between them) or if you can add those together - if so, the support looks even better.
