I think ref favoritism has more to do with crowd noise influence, so hopefully AZ sees a lot of Duck fans.

It's hard for me to tell. I acknowledge that my bias for the ducks clouds my vision. That being said, the second half of that Kansas game seemed like the refs were just trying to keep Kansas in the game more than them being influenced by the crowd. Now NC is the only team that could prevent some of the worst viewership ratings in finals history.

I don't think that's true. I think people tune into the finals anyways, similar to people tuning into the super bowl regardless of teams. And I think most people are happy to see new blood in there, they get tired of the same teams every year.

I would be willing to bet that a Ducks VS Zags finals would be in contention for the lowest rated of all time. It will be interesting to see how it unfolds.
