I thought this would get more attention. This is actually a huge deal. Women's basketball is growing.

Can't wait for Paige Bueckers to return and take the game to another level.

Time will tell. These ratings came from "controversy" which seems to have sparked the big sports media to hype the sport up.

Are you referring to the one from after the game?

(X) Doubt

Until they lower the goal a couple of inches so more of the players can dunk its pretty unwatchable.

The nice thing about women's college basketball is that the players stick around long enough for you to get to know them.

As long as there are exciting players to watch, people will watch. Caitlin Clark breaking record after record got people to tune in.

That happened after the game, and certainly wouldn't be a reason for record ratings. I think Caitlin Clark had a lot to do with the ratings. She's a generational talent in women's basketball.

If people want to watch players miss layups all night they can watch a Knicks game.

But sure use literally one data point to contradict years of ratings that say otherwise.

The Knicks are good this year.

Tell us you don't know anything about basketball without telling us you don't know anything about basketball.

There was stuff before the game too. Angel talking shit about Iowa, there was definitely stuff beforehand.

I think it helped that the big mens teams got bounced early and the womens game had a superstar and a powerhouse remaining and they played

Nothing, but Morris was talking a lot of trash.

nearly 10 million viewers is huge. Looks like 2023/24 season is when their existing rights deal expires. If they get another final close to 10M, they could get billion dollar deals.

IIRC right now NCAA women's tournament is bundled with like 60 other womens sports or something like that for a few hundred million, someone correct me on the details if you remember them.

But you and someone else said nothing happened before the game. Taking time in your press conference to talk shit about the other team is something.

I didn't say nothing happened before the game. I'm just saying the major (stupid) controversy surrounding Angel Reese is what she did after the game, and I interpreted the question about Angel Reese to be referring to what happened afterward.

The only way I could seen it generating controversy is because a black woman trash talked a mostly white team. But then again, I don't see that many chuds suddenly watching women's sports because they never cared about them anyway.

I don't watch any basketball unless I'm betting and that's a rare thing.
