In college football the play clock is the same as the NFL and the time of the game is identical to the NFL. Four 15 minute quarters in college football and in the NFL.
In college basketball you play 40 minutes with two 20 minute halves and a 35 second shot clock, and in the NBA you play four 12 minute quarters with a 24 second shot clock.
Now the rules in college sports aren't identical to the professional games, but the time of the game is awfully different from basketball compared to football.
I am not bemoaning the fact we lost honestly as if you told me we would be 25-1 after 26 games I would sign up for that every season AND NEVER complain. However, watching all of these ACC games outside of the Duke game played at snail paces its infuriating to see the decline of the college basketball quality of play. The number one objective of coaches is to win games, and the easiest way for teams to do that is too burn clock and shorten the game. Boston College shot 11/22 50% from 3 pt range that is why they were able to win the game last night. BC chopped 30 seconds each possession and then made 3 pt shots and we didn't execute on offense.
However, I hope the college basketball coaches realize the 35 second shot clock is too long and shorten it down to 30 seconds like the women's game. It would make coaches actually have to do their job more and teach their players offensive sets in a shorten time frame. I don't expect college basketball to go to 48 minutes and 24 second shot clock, but shortening it down from 35 to 30 seconds would add atleast 5 to 10 possessions at least per game.
College Football used to have a different play clock system than the NFL until recently in the last decade they changed to the 40 second clock after the tackle has been made a la the NFL. College Basketball needs to be progressive and change the freaking shot clock and made the game a better product. More possessions leads to more chance shots which leads to more points.
