I love the NBA 24-second clock and have always thought 35 was too long for D1. Watched a few of the NIT games last night and the pace of play was definitely better, in my opinion, with 30 seconds. I would vote for moving the D1 clock to 28 seconds if I had any say so.
Was catching up on some statistics last night on ESPN2 and they showed the combined average possessions of both teams throughout the year and then the possessions last night and our game with Central was the only one that had any significant increase in possessions. Believed it was increased by 10. All other NIT games were right around the average or slightly under.
I'm against it - the 6 second difference is needed at the college level to separate the two...Originally Posted by TrueBulldog1962
You would have horrible offenses with the 24 sec clock

I'm agree. 24 seconds is a short time period and would only give you one chance at a shot where the extra 6 seconds could easily allow for another set up should a play get busted or defended. 30 seconds would help bridge the gap between the college and professional level.
30 > 36 > 24 in HoDo's men's basketball math.
I liked the 30-second shot clock, and I think it serves LA Tech's style well. We may win this tournament because of it. Did everybody notice how many points we scored last night (89)?? Far Above our average, and we were playing against a very good team.
NBA teams really don't run any type of offenses so 24 is ok with them. 30 seconds gives ypu time to actually set up a play with out dragging out the game.
Agreed, plus there are the difference in game time (40 minutes vs 48 minutes in the NBA), 10 second violation in college vs. 8 seconds in NBA, number of timeouts, number of fouls a player can get before they are DQ'd.
I'd be happy with reducing the shot clock from 35 seconds to 30 seconds, but I wouldn't reduce the college shot clock to anything below 30 seconds.
I agree. It seemed we handled it better than CMU. They struggled numerous times to get their shot off. Seemed to have trouble breaking our press. They did better in 2nd half. We basically held service and made buckets to stop the their runs. Our bench really showed up to play. Disappointed at free throws - happy 3's were falling.
Everyone knew we had to score close to 80 to win this game going in -
They are on of the TOP 25 scoring offenses in the country and one the tops in offensive efficiency
The Demons are the top scoring team in the country I believe and we scored 88? against them and beat them by 11 in Natchitoches
We won last night because of the way we defensed the 3 and took their bigs out of the equation
We still missed 4 layups/put backs that I remember and a lot of free throws and had an above average # of turnovers
So we could of easily scored in the mid 90's

Thought the new 30 second clock rule helped again against the Aggies -
The effect will be somewhat negated against Temple because like us, they will be a guard oriented team

I don't think they are quiet as athletic and quick as we are, though. We shall see. I am having a hard time remembering much about that game, except for getting called for so many fouls.
Cummings will be crucial for us to slow down. He is a 27% three point shooter. We have to keep him out of the lane.
Temple, like us deserved to be in the NCAA's
They are a legit top 50 team

I'm in favor of a 30 second shot clock. 24 seconds would be too short IMO.
