"I got something to show y'all. So, for the NCAA March Madness, the biggest tournament in college basketball for women - this is our weight room," Prince said while pointing out a single stack of weights in the women's training facility in San Antonio.
Prince then showed footage of the men's weight training facilities in Indianapolis before refuting a claim by NCAA vice president of women's basketball Lynn Holzman that "limited space" was the reason for the threadbare amenities.
Holzman added in her statement that the NCAA is "actively working to enhance existing resources" at the women's basketball tournament. The NCAA told coaches and team administrators in a Thursday call that facilities in San Antonio will be upgraded by Saturday morning, according to Sports Illustrated's Emma Baccellieri.
In addition to Prince's post, Overtime's women's basketball Instagram page shared a collection of videos highlighting the differences between the two tournaments.
