Caitlin Clark, the “female Corrie” of the University of Iowa who has set countless records in college basketball, has become a ratings guarantee. The ratings of the Iowa quarterfinals have broken the college women’s basketball record. Yesterday, the NCAA women’s NCAA women’s game at the University of Connecticut was reversed. The top four basketball games attracted another 14.2 million people, breaking the highest viewing record for any basketball game on ESPN in the United States.
The highest viewership of this semi-final game reached 17 million, surpassing last season’s NBA Championship and MLB World Series; the 2019 NBA Championship between the Raptors and the Warriors attracted 18.59 million viewers, but at that time it was through “ABC” Broadcast.
“ESPN” has obtained the rights to broadcast the NCAA women’s basketball team in 1996. Currently, the popular player Clark has made “ESPN” a major beneficiary. In the quarterfinals, Iowa defeated the defending champion LSU, with an average of 12.3 million viewers. , is already a college women’s basketball record; last year’s championship game between Louisiana and Iowa had only 9.9 million viewers. In addition to rewriting the record by meeting in the top 8 in advance a year later, the highest viewership reached 16.1 million in 2012. It is the second highest number outside of “ESPN” football games after the year, and is also the highest record for any basketball game.
In less than three days, Iowa rewrote its own record. The ratings of the semi-finals also surpassed any men’s and women’s singles finals in the Tennis Grand Slam, which shows Clark’s charm.
In the 2014 World Cup, the showdown between the United States and Portugal attracted 18.2 million people. Tomorrow at 3 a.m. Taiwan time, the final showdown between Iowa and the University of South Carolina, which is undefeated this season, will have the opportunity to write something new.
