A bit confused by your question.Does anyone know why they changed from sat sun to Fri sat
They used to play on a Sat-Sun schedule with the NC being on the Tuesday after the Men's NC game. I believe that the NCAA changed at the insistence of CBS with wanting the Men's NC game being the last basketball game of the NCAA season, money talks when it comes to the NCAA.A bit confused by your question.
It's actually:
Opening Round
Friday 16 Games (A Group 32 teams)
Saturday 16 Games (B Group 32 teams)
Second Round
Sunday 8 games (A Group 16 teams)
Monday 8 games (B Group 16 teams)
Does anyone know why they changed from sat sun to Fri sat

The Iowa subregional continues to impress me with both its viewership and attendance. Sure, much of it can be attributed to Caitlin, but not all. Much respect to the wbb fans in Iowa.These are some nice numbers. They are, of course, driven by what net work there on, but a few things leap off the page:
The public is apparently well aware of who the defending national champion is and that they are undefeated. South Carolina consistently draws very well and its 1.1 million viewers on ABC is a strong number.Connecticut continues to be a draw with 943,000 on ESPN, the highest draw on that channel.The Miami, Indiana game 878,000 to ESPN2, is a really strong number for that channel.Georgia Iowa game is at over 1.4 million? It is on ABC, so that gives it a good start, but that is a great number for women’s basketball game.
Taking collectively, these numbers are a strong indicator of the extent to which woman’s college basketball has worked its way into the public consciousness. They should have an impact when the NCAA sells the woman’s basketball rights separately in the next contract negotiation.
Iowa State didn't go very far this year, and indeed, I don't think they've ever been. . . Much respect to the wbb fans in Iowa. . . .
73% is astounding!

ShowBuzzDaily is one such place:Where does the data for the different age groups originate from?
I don't know which company besides Nielsen would have data for each gender & age group.
Are these posted on a free public website?
