The most in NCAA women's basketball history.

It peaked at 12.3 million and was the most watched college event in ESPN+ history

I have never watched women’s basketball in my entire life until a little of the sweet 16.

After watching the final 4 and championship game I will be watching every year.

The last 2 LSU games were polar opposites. The LSU/Miami game might’ve legitimately been the worst sporting event I’ve ever watched. The natty was so much more exciting if you don’t think about how bad the refs were.

I think Caitlin Clark and the non excitement around the men’s tournament really helped boost this number.

And my guess is it will be remembered as the most entertaining women's game of all time. If you weren't a fan of either team and really didn't like women's basketball, that game changed your mind...even if for a night!

Kim said it - LSU is a global brand.

Having travelled, that purple and gold and LSU stand out, nice and proud.

Kims last natty at Baylor was a great and stressful game. Baylor won 82-81. Women's basketball can be very entertaining at this level.

Let’s give (ratings) credit to Iowa’s superstar.
Watching her play is worth the price of admission. If the refs let them play who knows what the score would have been. Tigers brought their A game and never let up - even after 13-0 Hawkeye run. Geaux Tigers!!!

the women's tournament had all the name recognition in the final 4 this year.

i couldn't name one player in the men's final 4. Even if you do know their name - they don't have anywhere close to the name recognition of Angel Reese, Caitlin Clark or Aliyah Boston.

Really weird but its the truth. The final 4 and championship games were absolute fire.

You hit the nail on the head. That Miami game was worse than AWFUL if that's possible. They sure turned it around and it worked out in the end.

Oh, and a big F' You to the NCAA for screwing CKM and giving them a 3 seed. The laugh is on them as it worked out perfectly and she beat them at their own game.

I'm sure the WNBA cant wait for that Iowa girl to graduate. If i lived close she is worth the price of admission to go to a few games a year.

Ha, let’s pump the breaks. I highly doubt you watch 2 teams you don’t care about like Baylor V Purdue women no matter the round of the game.
