It’s no surprise the ratings are so massive. It’s also not so surprising the NCAA Tournament committee paired Duke and Michigan State in the same region.
“These kinda ratings are what made it so predictable that the committee was always going to place Duke & MSU in the same region for the 3rd-straight NCAA Tournament (in which Duke made the field),” a fan added.
