How free-throw rates might lead men's college basketball to four quarters


Once a team picks up its 10th foul, it has reached compound interest. Every foul from that point forward results in two free throws for the opponent. With only two halves and no reset until the half ends, a team can stay in that penalty for a good amount of game time. Every time a team is at the free throw line, the clock stops and elongates the game. (Bless Your Chart)
