Women's college basketball is riding the Caitlin Clark wave right now after the Iowa sensation's record-breaking campaign with the Hawkeyes.
Despite Clark and Iowa ultimately coming unstuck against South Carolina, the women's NCAA Championship game brought in a staggering 18.9 million viewers - four million more than the male equivalent.
UConn's win over Purdue was watched by 14.8 million in comparison, albeit at 9:20pm Eastern time on Monday compared to Iowa-South Carolina's start time of 3pm Sunday.
Regardless, an extra four million viewers demonstrates the soar in popularity of the female college game this season - so does it mean women's basketball is better than men's?
