A lot of people watched the LSU Tigers defeat the Iowa Hawkeyes in the national championship of the NCAA women's basketball tournament.
Millions of people, in fact.
According to ESPN, the game averaged 9.9 million viewers and peaked at 12.6 million, which represented a 103 percent year-over-year growth and made it the most-watched NCAA women's basketball game in history.
Sports Media Watch noted it outdrew all of last year's MLB playoff games besides the World Series, matched or outdrew all of last year's NBA playoff games besides the Finals, averaged higher ratings than every NHL game since the 1972 Stanley Cup Final and averaged higher ratings than every NASCAR race since the 2017 Daytona 500.
