CLEVELAND — Women’s college basketball continues to grab the nation’s attention at an unprecedented rate, and the metrics prove it.
The Final Four game between Iowa and Connecticut on Friday was the most-watched basketball game ever aired on ESPN; an average of 14.2 million viewers tuned in, and the broadcast peaked at 17 million viewers.
Iowa defeated U-Conn., 71-69, to advance to its second consecutive national championship game with star guard Caitlin Clark leading the way.
The previous record for an ESPN basketball broadcast was 13.51 million viewers for Game 7 of the 2018 NBA Eastern Conference finals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics.

Blacks complained when ONE white player was allowed on the US Men’s Olympic team.
Clark had an off game. She only 21 points.
Sadly PeKing James China money alone will dwarf her lifetime earnings. And there are still plenty of white cucks that will cheer him no matter how much hatred he shows them.
James gets $35million a year fr Nike alone and is a billionaire.
She won’t see $35million in total.

Sadly James and the rest of the NBA have subsidized the WNBA for decades so she can earn any money at all.
It’s easier to make a three point shot if you can use a soccer ball instead of a basketball. 🏀
It will be even more fun when the trannies take over girl basketball. Bud Light will have a new venue to sell beer.
Aside from racist angles, UConn did a great job containing CC. Nearly half of her performance vs. LSU.
Other teams have great players and coaches too, no matter how great individuals or teams think they are.
Well at least it looks like the UConn Men will be in the Title Game.
It’s still a team game.
I've seen her more ads than LeBron this season. And, she's unquestionably more popular than he is now.
She's already got a $5 million contract offer from the Big 3 for an eight-game regular season.
I assume she’s on the US Women’s Olympic team.
Where are you getting these laughable numbers? Over 35 million viewers watched the Magic vs Bird NCAA Final in 1979.
S.C. will be watching that game film for sure.
However, containing her, frees up other opportunities, and they eked out the win anyway. So, Iowa needs to watch the game film themselves and see what they can change, to add another element that may catch S.C. off guard.
But hopefully, neither team has any transgender players. 🙂👍
When will a transgender athlete will be competing against Caitlin Clark?
Given that Clark routinely is hitting shots from more than 30 feet out, I doubt she'd have much of a problem shooting threes with men's ball.
Yeah right after I asked I looked for another site. I sent another post, so that you wouldn’t have to respond, but I guess you missed it. Thanks though. 🙂👍
LeBron is a great player. Lousy personality. No one wants to watch him.
LeBron is an entertainer. He needs to learn to stay in his lane.
40,000,000 I knew that and missed some zeros. I’m old.
