Caitlin Clark led the Iowa Hawkeyes to a historic victory over LSU in the Albany 2 Region final, drawing a record-breaking 12.3 million viewers on ESPN. Clark's impressive performance, scoring 41 points, helped Iowa avenge their loss to LSU in last year's national championship game.
This viewership figure surpassed the previous record set by the 1983 NCAA championship game between Southern California and Louisiana Tech, which had 11.84 million viewers. Notably, LSU coach Kim Mulkey, who played for Louisiana Tech, faced off against USC legend Cheryl Miller in that game, with the Trojans emerging victorious.
