Interesting ploy if you can get away with it...

Home court advantage?

Wyoming hosted New Mexico but was unable to get away with this trick of setting the height of the rim New Mexico was going to be shooting at - 3 inches higher than regulation..
of course nobody will say for sure who is responsible - but it is kinda suspicious - and kudos to the UMN staff that spotted the discrepancy and asked the ref to measure and reset the height of the basket.

Hmmm. When Bradley played there in 2011, they shot poorly and were 0-14 from three. Could there be a connection?
