Noticed yesterday that a lot of games went low scoring. I'm thinking the break at every ten minutes ruins the flow and teams basically start up again. that loss of a minute and also resetting the fouls makes me like these unders. any one else notice this?

The National Invitational Tournament has become a testing lab for potential new rules in college basketball.
The 32-team field will feature four new rules this year, with Louisville among the teams competing for a trip to the semifinals and final at Madison Square Garden in New York.
The new rules include:
a widened lane from 12 to 16 feet
an extended 3-point line to 22-plus feet
a shot clock that resets to 20 seconds after a team's offensive rebound
four 10-minute quarters instead of two 20-minute halves
In previous years, the NCAA tested the 30-second shot clock in the NIT before it became common in college hoops, along with the 4-foot charge arc under the basket.
“The style of play in men’s college basketball is healthy and appealing, but the leadership governing the game is interested in keeping the playing rules contemporary and trending favorably," Dan Gavitt, the NCAA's senior vice president of basketball, said in a February release. "Experimenting with two significant court dimension rules, a shot-clock reset rule and a game-format rule all have some level of support in the membership, so the NIT will provide the opportunity to gather invaluable data and measure the experience of the participants."
If the NCAA likes the results from the rules, they could be implemented into regular-season and NCAA Tournament games, but that wouldn't happen until May 2019, when new rules changes can be made again.
