Best Basketball Markets

[Olympic Fan]

I ran across this article in the Louisville paper, ranking the best markets for college basketball:

Interesting that three of the top six markets are in North Carolina (the Triad No. 2, the Triangle tied for 4th and Charlotte No. 6). North Carolina and the Kentucky-Ohio-Indiana triangle produced the top nine markets.

Also interesting to see confirmation that the second Duke-UNC game last year was ESPN's top rated game ... and the first Duke-UNC game was the most-watched in history on the ESPN3 platform.

Great find, OF! Really very impressive. Nice to get the numbers even though we already knew it intuitively. Tobacco Road still rocks!!
