Ratings: Broadcast Finals for March 31, 2012

HIGHLIGHTS:

• The two FINAL FOUR games did well on Saturday night. Both games should place in the top 5, in both categories. If there was only a way for a network to capture this on a weekly basis....

LOWLIGHTS:

• ESCAPE ROUTES premiered to bad ratings, even for a Saturday night. At least NBC is not out anything, since this is a fully funded FORD "Advert" program.
