"Iowa's Record-Breaking Win Over LSU in Women's NCAA Hoops"

Iowa's 94-87 victory over LSU in the women's NCAA tournament's Elite Eight set a record as the most-watched women's college basketball game in history, with an average of 12.3 million viewers on ESPN, surpassing the previous record of 11.84 million set in 1983. Caitlin Clark's 41-point performance led the Hawkeyes to avenge last year's loss to the Tigers in the national championship game, and the viewership exceeded that of most NBA Finals games and the clinching game of last year's World Series. The game also became the most-watched men's or women's college basketball game ever on ESPN, highlighting the growing popularity of women's basketball.
