The women's team draws eyeballs nationally. It's like having a top 25 men's team.

Is there documentation of this? I"ve seen some individual women's BB TV ratings for NCAA finals and such but never a list of TV ratings for regular season WBB games. I believe there was supposedly a really big TV number from one of the regular season games last season if I remember correctly.

Here is one: Syracuse-Connecticut Women’s NCAA Hoops Final leads cable sports TV ratings for Tuesday April 5, 2016

Here is another one: Notre Dame-Connecticut, Spurs-Thunder, SportsCenter lead cable sports nets for Tuesday April 7, 2015

The UConn-South Carolina regular season game last year did a .7, and another did a .8. You have to look at the games that were on ESPN or ESPN2to make a comparison. While those aren't Duke-Kentucky numbers, they are really really good. For the state of Connecticut, they say half the population (1.7m) watched the championship game.

UConn men do a .8 to 1.3 on ESPN regularly.

Is there any documentation of the 1.7 million for Connecticut for the women's championship game. There is absolutely no way that is true.

Since they only got 2.9 million viewers it would mean pretty much no one outside of the state watched either.

Yay, UConn's favorite cheerleader, not.

I might have read this wrong but I have no idea what 1.7 refers to here:
2014-15 ESPN Women's Basketball Ratings Notes (Infographic)

It can't be rating because we know the rating for the game was in the 30s for the market.

Also, I think you are confusing people for households. For instance, the 2014-2015 championship was seen in 3.2m households. But over 4.4m viewers watched it.

UConn's historic NCAA title win draws impressive television ratings

As for Connecticut, I think the state has 1.3m households and 3.6m residents.

I'm not confusing anything. You said half the residents watched.

That infographic is saying Hartford had a 1.7 rating for the season on those three networks.

LOL - close though.

I got it wrong.

Also, you got the previous quote of 2.7m viewers wrong. That is totally false.

The difference between you and me is that I can admit when I'm wrong. You can't.

Oh sorry for not believing that half the population of the state watched a basketball game. I must not like UConn.

Here's how a normal person would respond to your post.

Can you clarify your numbers? Something doesn't look right.

No, it does not. It says 3m households and 4.3-4.4m viewers.

Again, you can't seem to comprehend the difference between households and viewers.

Let's fast forward this 3 hours.

Upstater will post more numbers, Whaler will continue to antagonize him in the process.

Everyone is unhappy.

It's sort of fun when someone is so clueless they actually tell me that my number is wrong when they are the one that posted it.

There are just some people who should give up on numbers - it's not their thing.

I never posted any link about 2.9m viewers. You are delusional. Now you are making things completely up.

Perfect troll networking. This is how you get a source to become legit. Out the same info in multiple blogs/websites and count on readers not connecting the dots.

I just thought it was a Boneyarder goofing around.

Actually I'm combining some of your entertaining posts.

The 2.95 million viewers is for 2016 which is in your post further above.

Down 33% from 2014.... I wonder why that might be?

One fact I know, in the pre-conference season, the 3rd highest ranked Big East game on FS1 was UConn-DePaul WBB.

Sorry UpS you are right - it was West Coast who posted the number for 2016. Which is the 2.95 million.

Before you posted about 2014 you said that half the state watched the championship. Who wouldn't assume you were talking about the most recent?

Hartford's DMA only has 945k households total. Even if they have 90% cable penetration a 29 rating is less than 300k homes.

How much do we have to pay you to put this much effort into debunking the claims of our rivals?

It's unfortunate that there are not listing for this type of stuff to compare TV numbers for regular season WBB games like we can in football each week. Hopefully TV partners have conveyed such information to the Big 12.

One number that UConn does really well on is combined attendance for FB, BB, and WBB. Add up all the fans who bought tickets to watch those 3 sports and UConn really shines.

Regardless of the numbers UConn received zero compensation for thebir

Zero if they post here!

How much money was UConn compensated for what ever the actual numbers were ?. I believe the answer is zero.
Sounds like a clear case of sexual discrimination by the folks over in Btistol.
Maybe Hillary or Donsld could pick this up as a campaign issue,
Could it also be the reason ESPN has been against our moving to another conference?
