It's not just Iowa women's basketball, though. - Both LSU-MTSU and UConn-Syracuse drew 2+ million. - USC-Kansas (which tipped at 10 pm ET!) drew 1.8 million. - Tennessee-NC State drew 1.2 million.
@ChantelJennings Iowa State vs. Stanford would've deserved some huge numbers as well but it was unfortunately a bit too late.
@ChantelJennings The matchups for the Sweet 16 are AMAZING Ratings should continue to impress
@ChantelJennings So tell me Chantel, is 4.5M for a team located in the middle of corn fields vs hillbillies good compared to teams from NY and Conn and their huge population bases??? Asking for all of us unsophisticated IA and WVU fans?
@ChantelJennings @NicoleAuerbach The women’s game is terrific. All those rumors of “no athletic women” or “can’t dunk so not worth watching” were wrong! The women’s game is just as exciting if not more than MBB. Coaches are excellent. Great to see.
@ChantelJennings That last one is the most impressive, since most people were still at work when it tipped. .
@ChantelJennings NC State Tenn was 4pm eastern too! While the entire country was at work
