The National Invitation Tournament will experiment with four rule changes for this year's event, the NCAA announced Tuesday.
They include:
• A deeper 3-point line. It will be moved back approximately 20 inches to the distance used by FIBA in international competition (22 feet, 1.75 inches).
• A wider free throw lane. It will be extended from 12 to 16 feet, which is used in the NBA.
• Quarters, not halves. The game will still have 40 minutes of game clock, but it will be broken into four 10-minute quarters, which was adopted for the women's college game in 2015. For each quarter, two free throws are awarded once a team reaches five fouls.
• After an offensive rebound, the shot clock will reset to 20 seconds, as opposed to the full 30.
