Caitlin Clark stands alone on the Iowa Hawkeyes’ home floor, with 15,000 fans transfixed by the moment — and more than three million viewers watching on television. She drains a free throw. Effortless. Then another. The home crowd erupts.

It’s been a season for the ages for Clark, 22, whose talent has fueled a boom in interest in the women’s game as March Madness got underway this week. NBA star Steph Curry called her record-breaking performance “must-see TV” in an interview with CBS earlier this month. Viewers apparently agree.
