The nets have been switched at Delta Middle
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 Middle.
“I do not suppose it is onerous to seek out nets the place the ball goes by way 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 in all probability not stopping there, and convey them right here. It is not difficult.”
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 instructed KSL.com that the nets have been swapped out and examined, which, hopefully, removes the problems that have been ever-present throughout the first spherical.
The nets have been too tight and infrequently prompted the ball to both get caught totally or be delayed going by way of them. On not less than three completely different events on Thursday— following Arizona’s victory over Lengthy Seaside State within the first recreation, at halftime of the McNeese-Gonzaga contest and earlier than the ultimate recreation of the day — Delta Middle crew employees 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.
