1. UK vs. Arkansas (men's) - 2.4 million viewers
2. LSU vs. South Carolina (women's) - 2.2 million viewers
3. Tennessee vs. Kentucky (men's) - 1.79 million viewers


Waiting to see the Bama-Arkansas numbers from last night, that was the best game to watch all season.

So three regular season basketball games got more viewership than the college World Series

Just shows the TV stations prioritize women's basketball over niche sports like college baseball

Game 3 averaged 2.5 million, so there's that.

Imagine a fan of Tennessee, which hasn't won anything this century in anything but baseball, shitting on baseball.

We have won two natties in women's basketball and went to seven final fours, something more watched than baseball

Not sure what I'd be more offended by, being targeted in a post like this, or not even making the damn cut on the photograph to begin with.

Tenner used to be the standard in women's hoops, but it's been almost 20 years since it went to a Final Four.

He has Pat Summit sheets on his bed but no longer cares about Women's Basketball just like he somehow stopped caring about College Baseball recently. Wonder why?

Nah, I love college baseball, but nothing gets the LSU tards more going than pointing out how no one outside this conference gives a damn about it. Therefore, making it a niche college sport

All college sports are niche sports. There are portions of the country that could not care less about college athletics. Check the NFL ratings compared to college football ratings some time. 125 million watched the Super Bowl, 30 million watched the NCAA title game.

LSU has a losing record to Tennessee in Football, Basketball, Womens Basketball, and Softball

The only thing yall have is baseball, and you don't even have a winning record against us in that this decade

Congrats on losing to what you call a dead program

You’re too old to be defending Tenner’s joke of a program.

It isn’t healthy.

Remember the good times… (ya know, the 20th century)

Seriously, when was the last time Tennessee won anything? I'm genuinely curious.
