Will 20M or more viewers watch the Duke 2022 Final Four basketball game?

Question

Resolves YES if the average viewership reported for the 2022 men’s basketball tournament Final Four semi-final game on Saturday, April 2nd between Duke and either UNC or St. Peter’s is 20 million or greater according to Nielsen.

Legendary Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski plays for his last chance at a title while in his last year of coaching before retirement. His team will face either fellow blue blood rival #8 UNC or the biggest Cinderella story of all time, #15 St. Peter’s (opponent decided Sunday, March 27th).

20M would represent a higher viewership count than the last 3 championship games, the latest of which was 16.9 million for last year’s championship game: https://www.statista.com/statistics/244249/ncaa-basketball-march-madness-average-audience-per-game/
