Caitlin Clark Makes it to the Top Viewership to Date Leaving Victor Wembanyama Behind

Seems like Caitlin Clark is unstoppable even off the court. The NCAA All-Time Scorer’s record was not the only talking point from Sunday. With her home game against the Ohio State Buckeyes, the Iowa Hawkeyes sensation broke another record that may not be paralleled any time soon. Apparently, having the Carver-Hawkeye Arena jam-packed was not enough for this immaculate talent as she also set a broadcasting high. Clark recently shared an Instagram story showing her impact on the basketball world.

According to the post shared on the official page of Just Women’s Sports, the matchup between Iowa and Ohio State had the highest viewership among all basketball games this season. The post mentioned, “Impressive 3.4 million viewers on Fox for Iowa-Ohio State on Sunday afternoon. Beyond women’s college hoops superlatives, Caitlin Clark’s record setting game was- Higher than both TNT NBA Opening Night games this season and higher than Victor Wembanyama’s NBA debut on ESPN.”

It is an impressive feat in itself as Victor Wembanyama’s entry into the NBA did generate a lot of buzz. Also called the Wemby-mania, the youngest and tallest freshman of the NBA got about 3 Million views on ESPN. To date, it remains the most-watched debut night. While his team lost to the Dallas Mavericks with a 126-119 margin, Wemby contributed an impressive 15 points in his 17 minutes on the floor for the San Antonio Spurs.

Yet, neither Wemby nor the NBA’s opening night create quite as much interest as Iowa’s #22 did. With escalating viewership, fans are also increasing their expectations of the 22-year-old baller. One question that comes to everyone’s mind is can she repeat the history but only to come out victorious?

Can Caitlin Clark take Iowa to the Finals once again?

The Iowa Hawkeyes have exponentially improved their strategies since their last appearance in the NCAA WBB Finals. With Caitlin Clark averaging a whopping 32.3 points per game this season, fans are hoping she could get into the Finals seat again. The reigning National Player of the Year is also definitely preparing for this.

As this will be the last season with Iowa for the 6 feet tall guard, her impressive growth in the numbers can surely hint that fans will watch her in the final games of the season. Undeniably, her fandom is only increasing as not only young girls but men and women of all ages are coming down to Iowa matches from far away. Further, winning over the top seater with a huge margin made it worth it for the fans to pay for the high-end tickets.
