The audience for the national title game was up 90% over last year when Clark and Iowa fell to LSU. That also was the first time since 1995 that the championship was on network television. During the Final Four, Clark said the audience growth was benefiting all of women’s sports, not just basketball.

Watkins set the NCAA record for most points by a freshman with 920.
Fox carried 14 women’s games this season, including three in prime time, NBC two, and CBS had the Big Ten tournament championship. ABC had five regular-season games and nine during the NCAA Tournament.
