to the NBA standard? I think so, it would mean fewer "cinderella" mid-major teams and more interest from outside the diehard college fans. Don't give me this "everyone loves an underdog" bs the tourney in which George Mason got to the final 4 was putrid. Also you have cheesy teams which rely on the 3 so much, like WV a few years ago or Duke.

quite the opposite -- non-diehards like seeing non-glandular freaks have a chance to play

I think it should be moved back to the NBA line, or maybe 6 inches or a foot closer.

The NBA 3pt line is 22 ft on the corners and 23'9" on top the key. The NBA briefly went to a uniform 22ft for the 94'-95' season till the 97'-98' season when it was reverted back.

IMO, the 20'9" 3pt line in college needs to be moved back some from it's original 19"9'. I say move it back 1ft to make it a uniform 21'9", which would put it exactly in between the 3pt line in highschool and NBA. Would also make court look better by having the women's line and the men's line farther apart.

Anyone have or know where to find, say, last year's overall 3pt% for college and the NBA?

I don't understand this logic one bit.

None of those final 4 games were close. Why is that one teams fault?

Yeah right...a good high school three point shooter can hit bombs from NBA range let alone a good college three point shooter...I'm not opposed to moving the line back but it has nothing to do with eliminating cinderella teams
