Bye bye 35-second shot clock.
The NCAA announced Monday hat the proposed rules changes for men’s basketball have been approved, including a 30-second shot clock:

The hope is that a shorter shot clock will lead to more possessions, a faster pace of play and perhaps an increase in scoring.
Other rules changes approved include a reduction of timeouts and the restricted area arc moving from three feet to four feet.
