Um, well, no. Apples to Apples, yes - but the games in the US on Versus are simply not as available as the games on ESPN.
And the weekend games on NBC are on the weekend - so if we were talking weekend game vs weekend game fine.
But weeknight games, basketball benefits from all those casual fans who get home, crack a brew, and might watch a hockey game if it was on, but it is not so they watch the basketball game.
Yes, I know in some regions, the local channel (Comcast Sportsnet etc) will show hockey on weeknights. But not in much of the USA, including some major media markets - Seattle for one. So, if you do not get Versus....
