Our game with UConn had just over 1M. The highest WBB since 2017.

Our game with LSU had 1.5M viewers. The highest WBB since 2010.

The stats came from ESPN.

There are now more than 332,000,000 people living in the United States. Hence, our viewership for the LSU game amounted to .00452 (rounded) of the population - less than one half of one percent. Now, if you could get all 1.5 million in the same place at the same time, it would constitute a spectacle.

Here is what 1.6 million looks like which is pretty close.

Whatever else these numbers may mean, I think one takeaway is that of those viewers who are interested in WBB, more of them are watching the Gamecocks than anybody else. That would have to bode well for Dawn's recruiting.
Does our reach extend to Camden? That's mainly what I want to know right now. We had a nice football acquisition from over there.

Yes, but there are only 124 million housholds in the US and ESPN only reaches 76 million homes.

Many if not most of those households have multiple TVs and that multiplicity might be due, in many cases, to disparate tastes among household members. Rather than availability, the latter statistic likely speaks to preference - a lack of desire to receive other than over-the-air TV, and along with that, no great demand for copious helpings of sports, including WBB.

I would have thought the viewership would have been much higher.

ESPN routinely touts viewership of WBB. Every season there's some article about such and such a game having the highest viewership since such and such a year. I don't often see them touting viewership of MBB games though.
Probably has something to do with, oh I don’t know, growing the game
