BRISTOL, Conn. (AP) -- Top-ranked Duke's victory over No. 3 Maryland drew ESPN's largest audience ever for a regular-season college basketball game - nearly 3 million TV homes.
Duke's 99-78 victory Thursday night was seen in 2,971,520 households. That's about 115,000 more than tuned in for a game between Georgetown and St. John's on Feb. 27, 1985.
Duke-Maryland drew a 3.46 cable rating (each point represents about 860,000 homes).
