Note, this doesn't include any viewers watching the streamed video on ESPN+. Very impressive and of course, LSU was the main draw.

In any case, it was good PR for the Cajuns and the Sun Belt. Also, we just found out that the first super regional game at UW will be on ESPN, the main channel. However, that game is slated for 9:00 CST...kind of late for a lot of folks especially in EST zone areas.

With numbers like this, it's insane the SBC tournament didn't have tournament games on linear channels. Hopefully the conference front office has this info in their pocket the next time they meet with ESPN.

Fantastic numbers. All of Acadiana must have tuned in.

Thanks Slick…I had posted this on another thread earlier this morning but it got buried too quick. This is indeed great news for not only UL but for the SBC as well.

What's a good average for a college softball game? I feel like this number would be higher than whatever the average might be

I got to be honest, not sure which I watched. I just clicked the logo on my smart tv, sat back, and enjoyed the SEC beat down!

From another article:
The final game of the Baton Rouge Regional this weekend, a winner-take-all face-off between LSU and Louisiana, set a new season-high with 557,000 viewers on ESPN2 according to ShowBuzzDaily.com.

In addition to setting a new mark for the 2023 softball season on television, the viewership number also makes the game the most-watched Regional telecast since 2019.

The dramatic game, which ended in a 9-8 victory for the Ragin Cajuns, easily topped a WNBA game between Chicago and Phoenix that aired on ESPN and was watched by 439,000 viewers in direct competition with the Baton Rouge Regional.

Other notables from the Regionals on television included the winner’s bracket game between Auburn and Clemson on Saturday, which drew 498,000 viewers. Texas A&M/Texas (492,000) and Florida/Stanford (429,000), both also winner’s bracket matchups, also drew large audiences on Saturday.

Liberty’s 2-1 upset win over UCLA drew 401,000 viewers on ESPN2, the most-watched game on that channel on Saturday.

Nice!
