Syracuse, N.Y. -- When Syracuse hosts UNC-Greensboro in the first round of the NIT on Tuesday night, the game is going to look a little different.
In February, the NCAA's Rules Oversight Panel decided to use a set of experimental rules in this year's NIT.
The most obvious change gets rid of the traditional division of a game into two halves. In the NIT, the game will essentially be divided into 10-minute quarters.
