The NCAA is doing something that could have HUGE significance on college hoops moving forward. Brett McMurphy of Stadium revealed that the NCAA will move the three-point line back to international distance (22 feet 1 3/4 inches) starting next season.
Yes, you read that right, Syracuse basketball – the 2019-20 edition – should be able to take advantage of a longer three-point line. And not just a little bit longer, but well over a whole foot.
Call me crazy? Stop and think for a moment, because in reality, Jim Boeheim’s squad may be the best suited in the country for this rule change.
