Spotted Ratings, Saturday 4/2/11

WHAT MATTERS:

• It was all about the NCAA Men's Final Four, which easily outshone the combined broadcast competition. Against this bigger than usual competition, Fox's lineup was well below average. And Transformers, even though it seems ABC has played it a million times, remains one of the net's stronger theatrical options.
