    Why is ESPN broadcasting Beaver Ball?

    Thank God I have Espn2 & U, I find it ridiculous and a terrible business decision that they have Women's BB on their main channel, they would be better off broadcasting they IVY League game on the main channel than the UCONN/ND Women's game. Don't their execs look at ratings before setting their programming. Terrible business decision IMO.

    Because ESPN is from Connecticut so they are biased when it comes to UConn women's basketball. They love to show that horse shit.

    Bunch of garbage airing these games. UConn was going to win by 20+ and there had to be a better game on.

    You're not very bright are you?

    BE championship game with UCONN featuring the greatest college woman player ever to lace up a pair of basketball shoes (Maya Moore) is more compelling than a Maryland Eastern Shore mens game.

    I'll take Maya Moore in a game of H-O-R-S-E with GOIRISH, and spot him the H-O-R-S, and give him 2:1 odds.
    I'd pay cash money to watch him reduced to tears, in a fetal position, crying like the nanci-boi that he is.


    UCONN sucked this year, they only went 32-1 so far this season.

    110-1 in last 111 games.

    News flash you mamaluke, people like to watch that team.
    Deal with it.

    LThe top-ranked Connecticut women’s basketball team’s 93-62 win over No. 20 Florida State scored a hefty 18.1 rating in the Hartford-New Haven market Tuesday night on ESPN2, said ESPN spokeswoman Rachel Margolis.

    The game that gave the Huskies their 89th-straight win, surpassing John Wooden and UCLA’s Division I basketball record 88-game win streak, earned a 0.9 rating nationally, representing an average of 878,00 households and 1,171,000 viewers, according to Nielsen.

    ESPN said the national number is the second-highest rating for a regular-season or conference tournament women’s basketball game on the ESPN networks in the last six seasons. The 2009 Tennessee/Oklahoma game garnered a 1.0, a game where Pat Summit was attempting her 1,000th win, the spokeswoman said.

    The Hartford-New Haven rating was the highest women’s basketball rating on ESPN or ESPN2 here during the regular season and conference tournaments since the 19.7 rating in March 2003, when the Big East final saw Villanova break UConn’s then-70-game streak.

    The 18.1 rating also topped last year’s Final Four contest between Connecticut and Stanford, which earned a 17.6. Connecticut has been on ESPN or ESPN2 39 times since the 2003 UConn/Villanova game.
