NCAA basketball administrators apologized to the women’s basketball players and coaches after inequities between the men’s and women’s tournament went viral on social mediaSAN ANTONIO -- NCAA basketball administrators apologized to the women's basketball players and coaches after inequities between the men's and women's tournament went viral on social media and vowed to do better. We acknowledge that,” said NCAA Senior Vice President of women’s basketball Lynn Holzman, who is a former college basketball player. This is the first time in the women's tournament that every game is being played at neutral sites. In the past, campuses would host the opening rounds so teams would be able to schedule weight room times in those on-campus sites. All teams here deal with the same issues as the men’s teams this season, yet their ‘reward’ is different.”———More AP women’s basketball: https://apnews.com/Womenscollegebasketball and https://twitter.com/AP—Top25
