March Madness men’s final lowest-watched ever

Connecticut Huskies’ 76-59 victory against San Diego State Aztecs was watched by 14.69 million on CBS. They beat the record of Villanova’s win against Michigan on TBS in 2018 when more than 1 million people watched – 15.99 to be correct.

If we look for the previous lowest-viewed final on CBS, we need to go back to 2004 when UConn played against and won again against Georgia Tech, and 17.09 million watched it live.
