Games will be played in 10-minute quarters instead of 20-minute halves. The NCAA has used this timing convention for women's basketball since the 2015–16 season
.
As in NCAA women's basketball, as well as the 2017 NIT,[3] there will be no "one-and-one" foul shots. Starting with the fifth foul in each quarter, non-shooting fouls by the defense result in two free throws, with the exception of administrative technical fouls (for which only one shot is awarded).
The three-point line will change to the current FIBA distance of 6.75 meters (22 ft 1.75 in) from the center of the basket, except along the sidelines. Once the arc reaches a distance of 3 feet (0.91 m) from the sideline, it will become a straight line parallel to the sideline.
The free-throw lane will be 16 feet wide, the same width as in NBA and FIBA rules, instead of the 12 feet in the current NCAA rules.
The shot clock will be reset to 20 seconds after an offensive rebound.

That sucks on so many levels. Who wants to be a guinea pig for the corrupt NCAA? Do the stats count towards the players career totals? Will coaches have to alter game plans? Will the officials be able to manage the game correctly? Etc. . . Jeez, what is taking the FBI so long, get in there and drain that swamp before it's too late!!!
