How big is an NCAA college basketball court?
94 feet long by 50 feet wide.
- 84 by 50 feet
- 90 by 48 feet
- 94 by 50 feet ✔
Why: NCAA rules set the court at 94 feet along the sidelines and 50 feet along the end lines, measured from the inside edges. NCAA men and women use the same size.
Huh, didn't know that: A 2-inch-wide division line splits the court into two equal halves.
Why did the basketball court go on a diet? It wanted to trim a few feet.
