highly predictable. Think ESPN likes both leagues from a hoops perspective quite a bit. There is still nothing like the Duke and Carolina hoops brands. Even including Kentucky. I saw a report on the Duke basketball brand, and they have over 2M followers on Twitter (obviously that is not all alums or even close to it). They are so good for TV. Carolina has over 1M on Twitter, and Kentucky doesn't reach either of those two levels. Will do well in the television ratings moving forward.
