Indiana’s victory over Kentucky was the highest rated weekend NCAA Tournament game.

IU’s 73-67 win over the rival Wildcats earned a 6.86 rating, according to information released today by Greg Shaheen, a consultant and former head of basketball for the NCAA.

Fifth-seeded Indiana and fourth-seeded Kentucky traditionally draw strong ratings, so it’s no surprise an NCAA Tournament matchup would draw the top viewership of games in the round of 32.

The 6.86 of the IU-Kentucky game on CBS was followed a 5.81 for Stephen F. Austin vs. Notre Dame on CBS, a 5.77 for Oklahoma vs. VCU on CBS and a 5.73 for Duke vs. Yale on CBS.

Overall, 10.5 million viewers tuned in to see the Hoosiers' victory over Kentucky.

The Stephen F. Austin-Notre Dame rating suggests the drawing power of a Cinderella team. However, Arkansas Little Rock vs. Iowa State drew just a 0.69 on TNT and Butler vs. Virginia drew 1.63 on TBS.

The seven highest-rated games were all on CBS.
