NCAA (Tuesday)

[United]

1: 230-198 +12.25
2: 123-94 +39.90
3: 1-1 -.30

overall: 354-293 +51.85

NIT: I'm pretty sure most of you are aware of the experimental rule changes of the NIT.

1. 3 pt line moved back 20 inches
2. Shot clock on off reb set to 20 secs
3. wider ft lane,
4. 10 min quarters, with 5 fould resulting in 2 ft's,

Briefly for me: thinking outside the box

more 3 attempts, longer rebs, equal fast breaks, wider posting area for the bigs, more shot attempts because of shot clock rest to 20 secs instead of 30 after off reb, no more 1 and 1 misses, automatic 2 ft shots, for me college players and coaches turning their players loose more than normal for some more fun and wanting them to be happy, rewarding them after a grueling season,

other words I'm taking a shot at higher scoring, obviously from the higher totals the experts are also expecting higher scores,

sucker me in, but I'm trying out these 3 games:

554 WK/BC over 160 -110 (1)
556 Okl St/FGC over 159 (1)
558 ND/Hamp over 153 (1)

Okl st / fgc should be a track meet

Okl st / fgc should be a track meet

Agreed!

Far less 3's made than usual. 20" is alot. Not disagreeing, just wondering.

Ummm, nope. I didn't watch any games this year

Three's from the corner unchanged and if Trae Young can hit one from 35' at will, most your other 3 pt shooters can. Thing I like is the shot clock, game gonna start moving at warp speed at 20 seconds. I'm playing a couple myself, Poke's game one of them. GL!

[tmader7]

Slight exaggeration, but he routinely dropped them from 30' in, but I did watch him drop more than a few from further out. The players will adjust, but the speed here is what I'm most interested in.

Probably, but on a off reb they don't gain the full shot clock, and like I mentioned long shots mean long rebounds, and I'm really hoping the coaches give the players a little more freedom to launch and have some fun with the game.
