South Carolina’s win over Iowa draws record 18.7 million viewers, most watched basketball game since 2019
quote:

South Carolina’s win over Iowa was seen by an astonishing 18.7 million viewers and peaked at 24.7 million. That’s an 89 percent increase from the 2023 title game and a 285 percent increase from 2022. ESPN says it is the most-watched basketball game (men’s or women’s, college or pro) since 2019.


quote:

To put the South Carolina-Iowa viewership in perspective, the game topped:

Every World Series game since Game 7 of the 2019 World Series
Every NBA Finals game since Game 5 of the 2017 NBA Finals
Every Daytona 500 since 2006
Every Masters final round viewership since 2001
All but four college football games in 2023

But nobody watches Women's B-ball...

How can this be? LSU posters said all the viewers were turning in to watch Kim Mulkey and Angel Reese.

Probably has everything to do with the fact it was on major network tv(ABC)

Meanwhile, the men’s tournament is relegated to TruTv which I’m sure tons of people don’t even have.

Whatever man! LSU is the greatest "brand" in college athletics and fans across America just can't get enough. People from Washington state all the way to south Florida are lining up to move to beautiful Baton Rogue, Louisiana!
