    No they weren’t. They were the second best non-football event on ESPN. The game on Friday was the best basketball game ever on ESPN, but it had roughly half the viewership of the highest rated Monday Night Football game and about the same as the lowest rated Monday Night Football game. You are also comparing the final two games of a one-and-done tournament to non-final best of 7 series games (ESPN doesn’t show NBA Finals). The NBA Finals games average almost twice what this NCAAW Final Four had per game.

    At least look it up before you make inane comments.

    Also, the person asked about WNBA viewership on a weekly basis, not about a single NCAAW tournament final.
