When USC and Connecticut play Monday night for a spot in the NCAA women’s basketball Final Four, the three-point lines should be the same distance from the basket on both ends of the court at Moda Center in Portland, Ore.
Makes sense, right? Most people probably assume that’s the case for every game.
But it was not the case during USC’s and Connecticut’s NCAA women’s basketball tournament Sweet 16 games Saturday at the same court. Nor was it the case during the other three tournament games played this weekend, including North Carolina State’s 76-66 win over Texas on Sunday to advance to the Final Four.
