February 16 was undoubtedly the best day of 2024-25 on the calendar of the regular season of Basketball for the NCAA Women’s College.
This is because Uconn’s Husky has encountered the defense national champion of South Carolina Gamecocks in a clash between two national power plants. Immediately after the end of this game (which is dominated by Uconn), Kim’s LSU Tigers squad focused on Texas to face Longhorns (which eventually won Texas).
Both games were aired on ABC and ESPN. And according to a publication on February 19 by ESPN PR, everyone attracted a massive visual audience.

The fact that these two competitions, which were then teams of the top seven in the country, attracted over 1.5 million viewers, is stunning and serves as an additional proof that women’s basketball is currently flourishing.
This is not the only impressive indicator of a women’s basketball vision that has been discovered in the last 24 hours. The number of audiences for the semi-final and championship broadcast of the Unnible One-One tournament was released on February 18 and showed that it was an average of 377,000 spectators until it reached 398,000 spectators when the former championship games competed in the championship game.
These NCAAW numbers on February 16 are simply a taste of what is to come during March’s madness, especially if these top teams meet again in the short circles of the tournament.
