The first half of the NCAA Tournament’s inaugural FIRST FOUR® did well for truTV, averaging a 1.0. The NCAA play-in game did a 0.8 on ESPN last year.

For the first game which featured UNC-Ashville against Arkansas-Little Rock, the game received a 0.9 rating while the nightcap between Clemson and an overmatched UAB received a 1.1 which means people found truTV in time for the games.
