They do switch sides so each team gets to play with the slightly closer line.

Every day I wake up and promise I will be nice to everyone, then I deal with people at work and remember why that will never happen.

Feels like it'd be the advantage of the team receiving the ball in the 4th quarter though.

They don't have quarters in college.

Fine.

Feels like it'd be the advantage of the team receiving the ball in the 4th semester though.

I guess you are right. I figured it was the same as the men in college. Thanks for the update.

Maybe I should have quoted parts of article. In case people don't watch and don't know the follow up. This was the ending

The game between the Wolfpack and Longhorns proceeded as scheduled without the 3-point line being adjusted just like the other five games did. NC State went on to a 77-66 upset to advance to the Final Four. NC State shot 9 of 18 from 3-point distance. Texas was 1 for 6.

It happened in multiple games. They only realized it before this game which was the fifth. So teams that might make the finals were involved if you want to dismiss the teams in OP.

The NCAA 3-point line is the same for both women and men. So yea this was pretty horrible it happened.
