WTF is this shite? NCAA is ran by snowflakes if they implement this. Only a Hog fan would hope for a participation trophy.



This has nothing to do with participation trophies, it just forces the teams to play the ends of games like they do the rest of the game, instead of intentionally fouling to stop the clock.

Well if you say so.

The fact that you said just play another 10 minutes shows that you don't even understand the nature of the rule. There is no clock when teams are trying to reach the target score, just a shot clock.

What if I told you that just because there isn't a game clock doesn't mean actual time stops

The rule I most want to be implemented is what they did in the Basketball Tournament last summer with the target score. At the end of regulation, they add 7 points to the score of whoever is ahead, and whichever team reaches that score first wins. For example, if a game ended 72-70, the target score would be 79 and whoever got 79 first would win the game.

Pretty sure.

You state that all the fouls at the end of the game make the final minute last ten minutes. How come when I apply this same time frame to requiring teams to race to a certain point value do you attribute it to game time?


The rule is dumb. Sorry it hurts your feelings.

For a game to end 72-70, sometimes the final minute takes 10 minutes with the trailing team fouling immediately and everyone walking up the floor to shoot free throws. It's agony and ruins the ends of games. This totally eliminates that scenario.



What if a game is 72-50 with a minute left? Does the team already up by 22 have to score 7 more points or is it only when the score is within 5 points or something?

I was speaking generally, not really a controversial statement at all. The intentional fouling to stop the clock and make a team shoot free throws ruins the ends of games.

I don't even know what you're suggesting here. Are you saying a running 10 minute clock that teams can't stop would be better than a target score?

I didn't make it up, it was already tried last year and everyone who participated loved it. You guys would know that if you followed basketball.

Holy frick

The game "ends" at 72-70. With this rule the game continues until a team reaches 79. You're literally adding ACTUAL REAL LIFE time to a game that should already be over.

Are you familiar with the term gatekeeping?

The clock is eliminated and the target score is enforced at the first stoppage under the 4 minute mark.

Yeah, Vegas can't set lines or over/under's in this scenario and live in-game betting would be gone altogether. You don't frick with Vegas' "Target Score"

This eliminates the buzzer beater because there is no buzzer, and it also stops teams from fouling a lot at the end of games because you're not trying to beat the clock. Instead of a foul fest you would play defense like you did for the rest of the game.

It's fricking wonderful but will probably not happen for a long time because it's such a drastic change. It would make for better games though, especially the ends of games.


WHAT?!?!

Why add points if a winner has already been established with a 72-70 score at the end of regulation?

“Possibly next year. They've tried out some new rules in the NIT the past few years and some of them have been implemented. They usually try a lot and pick a couple.

So I guess I am confused. So how do you go about setting the target score? Is it like volleyball, the first team to 25 wins the game?
Does the target score change from game to game? If the target score is 72, then why would you add points on afterwards and if you do add points, who gets credited for those points in the stats? Does a team have to win by at least two points like volleyball? If it is 72-71, do the keep playing until someone wins by two or more points?

Ok rant over. I watched the State-Nebraska game last night. I like all of the changes i. e. wider lanes, 5 fouls per quarter, two shot FT’s, deeper three point line, 4 - 10 minute quarters. All good.

Depends on the timeouts. Only if it results in fewer team or media timeouts.

"The" Basketball Tournament??? And what tournament would that be? Last summer? The Little Rock High School Summer League?

Unless you provide some link to a story, most people are just going to keep thinking that you're talking out of your arse.
