How much will the lower shot clock effect the game next year?

Similar to how the new baseballs are effecting the college baseball game?

This is assuming the forgone conclusion to most that the new 4 foot arc and 30 second shot clock are agreed upon in May after their NIT trial run in a few weeks.

Obviously for teams that like to run and get up and down, this will help them out quite a bit, but the main goal for the NCAA is to get out of its current record breaking lows for scoring and possessions in games.


Expanding the arc under the rim from 3 feet to 4 feet should help the game too.

30 second shot clock will greatly improve college basketball

Shot clock is still too high. They should reduce it to 24 seconds and lengthen the three-point line to 23 feet. This would greatly help the skilled, good shooting teams who play uptempo basketball. The sooner the Bo Ryan/Tony Bennett type basketball teams die out, the better it would be for college basketball.

What will the 4 ft arc be?? Thought they already have the arc in the paint.

30 sec clock will make the game much more fun to watch. Like Arkansas Kentucky yesterday. Teams just firing it up

The women already use a 30 second shot clock. It is crazy that the men haven't switched to it yet.

It will greatly improve tempo, and I'd actually like to see it be the sxm clock as the pros. But I'll still take it.
