Women’s hoops are here to stay
Former member of the Georgia Tech Women’s Basketball team, Jasmine Carson, went 5-5 from the 3 in the first half of Sunday’s game helping buoy the Tigers to their first-ever national championship.No matter how you felt about the officiating or trash-talking that occurred on April 2 in Dallas, the Women’s NCAA Tournament attracted more eyes and bodies than ever before this year.
In the second year that the women’s tournament has been permitted to use the March Madness trademark, the first two rounds tallied a total attendance of 231,777 fans, topping last year’s total of 216,890. In its third year on national television, the women’s tournament absolutely CRUSHED previous viewership records.
