College basketball men's teams will use a faster shot clock — 30 seconds instead of 35 seconds — and have fewer timeouts, while women's teams will play four 10-minute quarters instead of two 20-minute halves.
All of it became official Monday when the NCAA's Playing Rules Oversight Panel approved a series of changes that everybody hopes will improve the game.
The men's committee had spent months debating how to increase scoring and speed up play.
