I watched it. Clark is unstoppable. I like watching her dish assists (12) more than her making logo threes. Fun game, very entertaining.

The numbers I cited were for the entire series not just the finals.

It's basketball. Even women's is better than baseball

These niche sports are always going to have variable numbers like that.

Teams that have good fanbases in smaller sports are going to skew numbers.

This woman's final 4 might set another record. NC State and UConn both have men's and women's teams in the final 4, and Iowa and South Carolina both love women's basketball.

The idiots will argue otherwise. Can't dispute those numbers.

LSU draws viewers.



Clark had nothing to do with ratings.

Because you're not feeding the Rant narrative that no one cares about WBB.

Sarcasm aside the LSU girls draw lots of clicks and viewers, probably as much as any team without Caitlin Clark in the game’s history so amazing joke

That 12.3 million includes a couple hundred that could name 4 players in the game. They watched for the train wreck not the game.

Does it matter? Watching is watching.

How many “watch” the Superbowl for the commercials? Halftime show? I watched the game. It was an interesting matchup with a bit of bad blood and something meaningful on the line. Who doesn’t like that???

This is what draws people.

Agreed. It’s a shame we played so terribly. Had the LSU that played UCLA shown up we’d be in the final. Until next time
