Despite airing on ESPN2 to accommodate the NBA Draft, Thursday’s LSU-Wake Forest Men’s College World Series semifinal averaged 2.09 million viewers — the largest audience for the event since Game 2 of the Oregon State-Arkansas final in 2018 (2.16M). The previous high was set just three days earlier on Monday, when the same matchup averaged 2.02 million on ESPN.

Outside of the final, this year’s three LSU-Wake Forest games (Wednesday’s matchup averaged 1.89 million) delivered the three-largest MCWS audiences ever on the ESPN family of networks.

The top two also rank as the most-watched baseball or softball games on cable this year, college or pro. The top game of the Women’s College World Series — Oklahoma’s title-clinching win in Game 2 of the Final — averaged 1.86 million. The top Major League Baseball game on ESPN so far this season, Red Sox-Yankees on Sunday Night Baseball two weeks ago, averaged 1.94 million

Overall, LSU’s five games have been the most-watched of this year’s tournament. Their three games against Wake Forest hold the top three spots and their two games against Tennessee rank fourth and fifth at 1.80 million (Tuesday) and 1.61 million (last Saturday) respectively.

Not only have the LSU games been the most-watched of the tournament, they have also generated the largest year-over-year gains. Thursday’s game scored the biggest jump at 165 percent, though some of that is because last year’s comparable Mississippi-Arkansas game aired in an earlier timeslot (858K). The apples-to-apples comparisons are no less impressive, with gains of 87 percent last Saturday, 62 percent Monday and Tuesday, and 40 percent on Wednesday.

Shut up, turncoat.

He asked what else UGA was good at besides football. I accurately reminded him that we’re better than LSU at virtually everything that matters.

It's nice of your mom's boyfriend to let you stay up late on weekends. Did you have to call him "Daddy" to get the wifi password?

What is truly most disingenuous about this is everyone knows full well that if Georgia were on the cusp of winning another national championship, you and all the other “it’s not popular” people of nonsense would be highly interested in college baseball as a sport, but you want people to believe you are beyond it and it doesn’t interest you, but that is solely because you stand nothing to gain from it personally in your affiliation to it. Let that change however, and you will automatically become very interested in it. We all know that already. Nobody is being tricked here.

It's a niche sport just as college hockey and wrestling is in the North and Midwest but the fans that follow it take it very seriously. I don't care about cbb but the timing of your post screams "look at me!"

It must feel quite strange to be completely left out of the SEC's recent dominance in the sport. Hell even Ole Miss and Vanderbilt have better programs.
