The NCAA women's basketball final has attracted a lot of attention in the United States.

"The average number of viewers reached 18.7 million in the final between the University of Iowa and the University of South Carolina held on the 8th." "Except for the National Football League (NFL), the number of sports viewers in the U.S. has been higher than this since 2019."

Fans were unusually interested in this year's NCAA women's basketball thanks to Caitlin Clark of the University of Iowa, who is called a "superstar."

In the quarterfinals between Iowa University and Louisiana State University on the 2nd, more than 12 million viewers were set, and 14.2 million people watched the semifinals between Iowa University and Connecticut on the 6th.

Regarding the number of viewers in the semifinals, U.S. Newsweek said, "Last year's NBA championship game and every major league World Series game in the U.S. Major League Baseball had never seen more viewers than this," adding, "The final round of the Masters golf tournament has also not had more viewers since 2013."

Clark, who is popular, set the record for most points (3,900 points) in all men's and women's NCAA Division I leagues, and is likely to be the first overall WNBA rookie draft this year. 바카라사이트

Fans flock to every place that combines long-distance three-pointers and exquisite assist abilities reminiscent of NBA's "superstar" Stephen Curry (Golden State).

However, he lost to Louisiana State University in last year's final and was runner-up, and lost to the University of South Carolina 75-87 again this year, failing to win the championship ring.
