NIT Makeover for Purcell Pavilion Floor & Clock
The NIT Tournament will be experimenting with changes to the playing court and changes to how the time will be kept during the game...
- The three-point line will be moved back 20" -- same as the FIBA three-point distance
- The "paint" area inside the free throw lane will be widened four-feet -- same as the NBA
- There will be four quarters instead of two halves -- same as NBA
- And, on a missed shot -- the shot clock will re-set at 20 seconds instead of 30 seconds
