The Syracuse basketball squad, when its 2019-20 campaign commences, will feature a bevy of 3-points specialists, whether it’s returnees Buddy Boeheim and Elijah Hughes, or incoming freshmen Joseph Girard III and Brycen Goodine. Those SU aces from downtown, as well as others across the country, may have to connect from a bit farther away under a proposal revealed Friday.
The NCAA Men’s Basketball Rules Committee has recommended moving the 3-point line to the international hoops distance of 22 feet, 1.75 inches, which compares to the current college line of 20 feet, 9 inches, according to an NCAA press release.
