Four games played on the court already.
That’s eight head coaches, twelve officials, and more than fifty players who didn’t notice!
“The same court has been used in Portland for four Sweet 16 games Friday and Saturday and the Elite Eight game on Sunday. The game between NC State and Texas was the fifth game of the six scheduled for the regional site, and staffers were seen taking measurements as the two teams warmed up.“
“It’s almost unfathomable how the mistake took four games to be noticed if Sunday afternoon was truly the first time the disparity became known. Once the court was measured, it was obvious to anyone watching that the distances at the top of the arc were different. Look at how much closer it is on the left half of the court than it is on the right.“
