Are there really such things as casual NCAA basketball fans, though?
I mean if you live in NYC (just to name one example) you root for maybe the school you went to or if it didn't have basketball maybe you become a subway alumni of St Johns or Fordham or Seton Hall or Iona.
But you either like it or not. So I think if you are a fan even a casual fan - you wont say I wont watch this year because North Carolina is not in it.
Of course that does not apply to fans of ONLY a team and when their team is out, they stop watching. But they would be gone regardless.

I’m a casual fan and I doubt I’ll watch much. My brackets are done and these matchups don’t interest me. I’ll check my app and if it’s close under 4 to go, I’ll put it on.
If Kentucky was playing UNC, I’d be more interested in watching. I don’t believe these teams are the elite of the sport so it’s less interesting to me.

I’m a less than casual fan. I watched all 4 games this weekend because it wasn’t the “same ol same ol”
Same with final 4. Didn’t watch a minute last year or any this year until this past weekend.

But this year, everyone’s bracket is in shambles and a winner in each person’s pool is probably already decided. So the casual fan might not be as interested.
