Caitlin Clark's college career is winding down. The 22-year-old senior announced her intention to declare for the 2024 WNBA Draft earlier this month, foregoing the chance to use her extra year of COVID eligibility. She has enjoyed quite the send-off season. Clark has continued to set records on her way out the door, and will go down as arguably the most prolific player in college basketball history.
The one thing missing from her resume is a national championship. Clark led the Hawkeyes to a No. 1 seed in the 2024 NCAA women's basketball tournament, and it isn't surprising the audience is excited to watch her make one final run. Even so, the ratings from Iowa's opening weekend of tournament games are eye-opening.
Two days later, Iowa one-upped itself in the viewership department. The Hawkeyes took on No. 8 seed West Virginia and scraped by with a 64-54 win. It was not without controversy, either, as questionable officiating decisions distracted from Clarks' 32-point, eight-rebound stat line. Regardless, it led to an average audience of 4.9 million viewers, and ESPN said the numbers peaked at 6.4 million.
