Teams played four games over two days before the NCAA was notified there was a mistake with the court.
The 3-point line for the women's NCAA Tournament at Moda Center in Portland, Oregon, had a discrepancy in distance at each end of the court that went unnoticed through four games over two days before Texas and North Carolina State were informed of the problem ahead of their Elite Eight matchup on Sunday.
Holzman said all lines would be measured after practices concluded on Sunday evening and the correct markings would be on the floor ahead of Monday's game between Southern California and UConn.“While the NCAA’s vendor has apologized for the error, we will investigate how this happened in the first place. The NCAA is working now to ensure the accuracy of all court markings for future games,” Holzman said.
Four Sweet 16 games on Friday and Saturday were played without any of the participating teams saying anything publicly about a problem with the court. A delay would have taken at least an hour, both coaches said, because someone from the outside would have to be brought in to remark the floor and could have forced the game to be bumped from being broadcast on ABC.
“At the end of the day we had already played a game on it and we both won, so we just decided to play,” Schaefer said.
