82% Informative
ESPN 's ratings for women’s basketball were up 3% from last year and a whopping 41% from two years ago .
At least half a dozen games drew 1 million or more viewers this season , led by the 2.23 million who tuned in to watch JuJu Watkins vs. UConn .
South Carolina , Iowa and UConn sold out their season tickets, with the Gamecocks and Hawkeyes ranking in the top 15 of all NCAA programs.
Unlike the men, who can, and often do, leave college after a year , women have to be at least 22 years old and have exhausted their eligibility, graduated or be four years removed from high school to enter the WNBA draft.
The interest in women's basketball might not be at the heights it was under Clark , but it continues to grow.
