Deeper 3-point line not worrying Blue Raiders
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — The NCAA experimented during the men's basketball National Invitation Tournament (NIT) last season with several different rule changes.
One of those rules has stuck heading into 2019-20, and it could change the way teams operate both offensively and defensively.
The NCAA tried out a new 3-point line during the NIT, moving it back from its previous 20 feet, 9 inches to the international distance of 22 feet, 1 ¾ inches. It must have had the desired effect, because this season the NCAA voted to move it permanently.
