The NCAA said Monday one of the 3-point lines on the court used for the women's basketball regionals in Portland, Oregon, was about 9 inches short of regulation at its apex, a mistake by the contractor that makes the courts used throughout March Madness.
After reviewing the Portland court, it was found that the center hole was punched about 9 inches short of where it needed to be at the apex of the 3-point arc. “We will work with all of the NCAA’s suppliers and vendors to establish additional quality control measures to ensure this does not happen in future tournaments.”
The misdrawn 3-point line capped a rocky eight days for the NCAA, which has been working to address inequities between how it administers the men's and women's basketball tournaments since issues were pointed out during the 2021 single-site events in Indianapolis and San Antonio, respectively. “I think we shot the ball better on the other end both games, because that’s the normal line,” N.C. State coach Wes Moore said. “But I’m not going to blame it on that. I mean, these kids, like I said, they shoot so far behind it sometimes nowadays, who knows where the line is?"
