New Rules in Play for Men's, Women's College Hoops

Both men's and women's college basketball will look a little different next season.

On June 10, the NCAA announced significant rule changes to both games. Going into effect for the 2015-16 season, these new rules, according to the NCAA, are believed will "enhance the flow of the game" and "improve the pace of play" among other things.

On the women's side, perhaps the most notable change is that the game will now be played in four 10-minute quarters.
