Oregon forward Sedona Prince on Thursday posted a video showing the differences between the weight rooms at the men’s and women’s tournaments, saying there is enough room for the NCAA to add more equipment.
Prince, a second-year student in the red shirt whose ducks will tackle South Dakota in San Antonio next week, was among those who tore the NCAA for the weight rooms.
“I have something to show everyone. So, for the NCAA March Madness, the biggest women’s college basketball tournament … this is our weight room,” she said, pointing to one stack of free weights.

“Blades show everyone in the weight room for men,” she said as the video cut to the gym at the men’s tournament in Indiana.
“When photos of our weight room were released against the men, the NCAA said in a statement that it was not money, but that it was the space that was the problem,” Prince said.
She then took a video to show what space for more machines, weights and other accessories looks like.
“If you are not upset about this problem, you are a part of it,” she added.
The video received response from Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry.
When the photos first flooded social media, the NCAA announced a statement that it was going to work to get more training equipment for the women basketball players.

The organization later issued a statement in which the photos were discussed, saying it was a space issue.
“We recognize that some of the convenience teams would normally have access to within the controlled environment,” said Lynn Holzman, senior vice president of the NCAA.
“In part this is due to the limited space and the original plan was to extend the training session as soon as extra space was available later in the tournament. However, we want to respond to the needs of our participating teams and we are actively working to improve existing resources at practice courts, including additional weight training equipment.
