The issue with the 3-point line was revealed Sunday before Texas and North Carolina State faced off in their Elite Eight matchup.Texas players defend as NC State players pass the ball in an Elite Eight game in the women's NCAA tourney, March 31, 2024, in Portland, Ore.PORTLAND, Ore.
“The NCAA was notified that the 3-point lines on the court at Moda Center in Portland are not the same distance. The two head coaches were made aware of the discrepancy and elected to play a complete game on the court as is, rather than correcting the court and delaying the game,” the statement said.
During pregame warmups, Texas coach Vic Schaefer and N.C. State coach Wes Moore were informed that the 3-point line distance at the top of the key was different on both ends of the floor. The distance between the top of the key and the 3-point line was shorter at one end.NCAA officials were asked to measure the distance and brought out a tape measure about 15 minutes before tip-off. After discussions between NCAA representatives, the coaches and officials, the game went on as scheduled.
