The 3-point line for the women's NCAA Tournament at Moda Center had a discrepancy in distance at each end of the court that went unnoticed through four games over two days before Texas and North Carolina State were informed of the problem ahead of their Elite Eight matchup on Sunday.

The Wolfpack (26-14) head to Glendale, Arizona, with the most losses ever for a Final Four team, but on a winning streak that began after losing their last four regular-season games, and seven of nine. They had to win five games against past national champions in five days in the ACC Tournament, including a win over Duke in the quarterfinal round, just to get into the 68-team NCAA Tournament field.

The South Region final is Sunday in Dallas, about 1,200 miles from Tobacco Road where their campuses are within about a half-hour drive of each other.

Duke star big man Kyle Filipowski was hobbled after a collision with a fan rushing onto the court to celebrate Wake Forest's win against the eighth-ranked Blue Devils. The 7-footer had ice on his right knee when talking to reporters afterward.
