BREAKING: The Iowa-South Carolina national championship game averaged 18.7 million viewers.
That makes it the most watched basketball game — men's or women's, college or professional — in five years.
What a MASSIVE month for women's basketball.
Dawn Staley is an absolute class act. After finishing a perfect season, she has enough class and humility to personally thank Caitlin Clark from her award stage:
“I want to personally thank
Caitlin Clark for lifting up our sport, she carried a heavy load for our sport.”
ESPN has had the NBA since 2002.
But Iowa-UConn's Final Four matchup was the network's most-watched basketball game—men’s or women’s, pro or collegiate—ever.
Congratulations to @TexasVolleyball on back-to-back national titles and one of the most dominant performances I've ever seen on this stage. 1st team to beat THREE 1-seeds in the tournament since 2017 and swept in the title game two years in a row. Incredibly impressive. #NCAAWVB
