BodyBagGame Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I kind of like the team fouls being reset after the first ten minutes. Not sure how many people are paying attention to the NIT or CBI, but these games seem to be flowing a lot better. I can see this catching on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelawlorfaithful Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I hated the idea. But now that I've seen it, I like it. Quote We’re all sitting in the dugout. Thinking we should pitch. How you gonna throw a shutout when all you do is bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HylianHero Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I really like it, though I wish they would just call it quarters and be done with it. CSU's game on Tuesday flowed so much better without the endless 1 and 1s. Get your two shots and get out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingpotato Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I loved it. The flow of the game was so much better and it wasn't just a tedious FT contest. I would love to see it catch on. It sucks when fouls are called early and now a team gets FTs for 14 minutes on every foul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the reason for the test. The goal is to join the rest of the world and go to quarters, although this may ultimately be an interim step. 1 Quote It gives me a headache just trying to think down to your level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headbutt Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 If implemented, this would cut down on 3 point attempts and bring the game back into the paint. Not that I'm totally opposed to that. Too much benefit to force the ball inside and work for a two or a foul. If you can get 4 by the 6 or 7 minute mark, it's golden. No 1-1, just two shots every time you can draw a foul for 8 or 10 possessions. Have a tall guard drive on a slow center in the arc and it's free money. I like games that are settled underneath the basket, but I can see some changes in coaching approach that takes things right back to a free throw contest.

myk13 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I like majority of the changes, but I really wish they keep the 1 and 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterfrog Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 The new rules made for a real interesting game today between TCU and Iowa. It was backwards of what you normally see. Neither team had committed any fouls in the final ten minutes in a game that was never more than 2 points apart the final two minutes. In the last 30 seconds, every time a team got the lead, they started fouling because neither team was in the bonus. Iowa tied it up with about 6 seconds left in regulation and TCU was barely able to get a shot off before the buzzer due to all the fouls in a tie game. In overtime, they make you foul three times before the bonus. TCU jumped out to a two possession lead and tried to make fouls down the stretch. It almost backfired because their 5 point lead with 7 seconds left still gave Iowa a chance to shoot for the win at the buzzer. Nevertheless, TCU is on to the quarterfinals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
