Waiting to hear viewership numbers...

[MitchLL]

If the Colorado game was 7 million, last nite was easily >9.

JMO

Won’t be that high. Probably in the mid 8 millions.

Colorado was 7M, and was not "must see TV". Last night was a blockbuster - appointment television. No way it only pulled something in 8 millions.

I was going big.

Louisiana and South Carolina were the only States shown to favor LSU, but there was a large contingent of bitter haters in the Lincoln NE area.

Lol. Probably

When are the numbers released?

When are the numbers released?

Colorado game's was released today, so I would think there is a lag of about 3 days.

ISU fans on social media aren’t handling this win too well.

Link?

 

[peacehawk]

This. It was a marquee match up, and there wasn't much else on TV to draw away the eyes of sports viewers.

I know you could say this about any game, but isn't that 12M streams? That is, there could be lots of watch parties and such so the actual number of sets of eyeballs on that game is multiples of that?

Over by .2, close enough for me. Still no idea what the peak was.

 

[MitchLL]

12.5 million and peak of 17.5.

^^^^^^^^^I'm unofficially declaring this the winning guess!

Cause we had no rule about "not going over".

It's amazing though that the 1983 women's national championship game had 11.83 million viewers.

Nice try. The facts: 12.3 million, more than watched the 2023 NBA finals.

Ya, I've seen enough Price is Right. Nobody under bids me.

I will graciously accept the win.

I was over by 1.5 mill on my peak though.

Awesome!

6.7 million watched UConn - USC. Surprised it drew that viewership. Spillover from the Iowa game no doubt.
