The nets have been switched at Delta Heart
The NCAA heard Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd’s plea.
On Friday, Lloyd had a easy repair for the tight nets that plagued the first-round video games on the Delta Heart.
“I do not assume it is laborious to search out nets the place the ball goes by means of,” Lloyd mentioned forward of the Wildcats’ second-round recreation in opposition to the Dayton Flyers. “So, go as much as the College of Utah, take the nets off the basket, as a result of they’re most likely not stopping there, and produce them right here. It is not sophisticated.”
Whereas the NCAA did not go as much as the college for nets, it has switched them out forward of Saturday’s second-round video games. An NCAA spokesperson informed KSL.com that the nets have been swapped out and examined, which, hopefully, removes the problems that had been ever-present through the first spherical.
The nets had been too tight and infrequently triggered the ball to both get caught completely or be delayed going by means of them. On not less than three totally different events on Thursday— following Arizona’s victory over Lengthy Seashore State within the first recreation, at halftime of the McNeese-Gonzaga contest and earlier than the ultimate recreation of the day — Delta Heart crew staff tried to stretch out the nets.
“Simply stays in there. Discuss stopping a quick break. Jeesh. Hopefully they’ve that fastened by (Saturday),” Lloyd mentioned.
