Nevadaref I'm watching the Iowa v. SLU game and it appears the NIT is using the trapezoid lane and the 20' 6" three point line. Does anyone know of a press release or other official statement regarding the use of these in this tournament?
LDUB I don't think they are using the trapezoidal lane. The court has lines for the rectangualor one too. Also the normal 3 point line is on the court.
Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. That court is lined for games being played under all of the rules codes: NFHS, NCAA Men's/Women's, FIBA, and NBA/WNBA. Maybe Chuck can answer this question: Does the ABA (a minor league) use the FIBA trapazodial lane and three-point arc?
Nevadaref The Michigan/Missouri game is using the normal lines. So I guess it was just the court. A little confusing to play on IMO.
[deleted] Nebraska-Creighton used the normal lines. Must be the court. By the way, Huskers 71, Bluejays 70. Awesome game.
ShadowStripes The floor was used by the St. Louis Swarm of the now-defunct International Basketball Legaue (IBL). The IBL was a fledgling minor league that absorbed some of the old Continental Basketball Assn. (CBA) teams when that league folded. It lasted 2-3 years, I believe. Their rules used the trapezoid lane and the international 3-point line. Of course, the court was marked for all 3 rules, but the NIT game used the college lines.
