4/3 – Women’s Final Four on Par With Last Year

Featuring high profile teams Connecticut and Baylor, the National Semifinals of the Women’s NCAA Tournament turned in numbers on par with last year. Sunday’s Baylor/Stanford Women’s NCAA Tournament ‘Final Four’ game drew a 2.2 overnight rating on ESPN, even with Connecticut/Notre Dame last year (2.2), but down 15% from Connecticut/Baylor in 2010 (2.6). Baylor/Stanford finished just shy of ABC’s Bulls/Thunder NBA game earlier in the day (2.3). Earlier in the night, Notre Dame/Connecticut drew a 1.8 overnight, up a tick from both Texas A&M/Stanford last year (1.7), and Stanford/Oklahoma in 2010 (1.7), reports Sports Media Watch.
