It’s official. South Carolina’s women’s NCAA tournament win over Iowa had more viewers than UConn’s men’s NCAA tournament victory over Purdue.
The Huskies’ win Monday night drew just over 14.8 million viewers on TBS compared to the nearly 19 million people who watched South Carolina cap an unbeaten season with a win over Caitlin Clark and the Hawkeyes on Sunday afternoon on ABC.
per very kind source: 14.823m for Purdue/UConn Men's NCAA Championship across TBS, TNT and truTV.

It’s hardly a surprise that the men’s game didn’t match the women’s in total viewers.
