re: NIT Selection Show 7:30 ESPNU

Nailed it

No. 5 Arkansas
No. 1 Alabama

-The three-point line will be moved to be in line with FIBA standards

-The free-throw lane will be widened from the current college basketball standard to the current NBA standard
After an offensive rebound,the shot clock will reset to 20 seconds instead of the NCAA standard of 30 seconds


-Team foul counts reset to zero at the 10-minute mark of each half, effectively dividing the game into quarters for the purposes of determining bonus free throws
No more “one-and-ones”, as all bonus free-throw situations will result in two free throws for the non-fouled team

-Teams will enter the bonus after the fifth team foul in each 10-minute segment

-The team foul count will reset to zero at the start of overtime, and teams enter bonus with four team fouls in overtime

-Finally, the NCAA will adopt the NBA’s bonus rule regarding team fouls in the final two minutes of any period. Teams enter bonus on the second team foul in the final two minutes of any 10-minute segment or overtime period, regardless of the total team foul count at that point of the period

Good lord this sounds confusing to me.

Why not just actually divide the game into quarters?

Two less automatic timeouts. Gotta hurry these games up to get to some already scheduled women's volleyball matches on the U.
