American collegiate basketball uses a 30-second shot clock, while Canadian university basketball uses a 24-second clock. In men's collegiate basketball, there was initial resistance to the implementation of a shot clock for men's NCAA basketball, due to fears that smaller colleges would be unable to compete with powerhouses in a running game.
A rule change in college basketball left teams unable to replicate Villanova's ball control strategy from the 1985 national championship game. After several conferences used a shot clock during the previous few seasons, the NCAA instituted a 45-second clock for the 1985–86 season. The clock was reduced to 35 seconds in 1993–94 and 30 in ...
The NCAA shot clock gives teams of both sexes 30 seconds to shoot, while the shot clock used in both the NBA and WNBA gives teams 24 seconds. Also, NCAA teams are allowed 10 seconds to move the ball past the halfcourt line (with this rule only having been added to the women's college game in the 2013–14 season), while NBA and WNBA rules allow ...
Basketball's "5 seconds closely guarded" rule was originally introduced partly to prevent stalling, and other rule changes were made to the college rules through the 1970s in hopes of eliminating stalling without using a shot clock as the National Basketball Association (NBA) had since its 1954–55 season.

That game took place before the implementation of the shot clock. [1] Two other men's basketball games that involved teams now in NCAA Division I reached six overtime periods, both occurring in the era before the NCAA officially split into competitive divisions. Niagara defeated Siena 88–81 in 1953, and Minnesota defeated Purdue 59–56 in 1955.
The 1985 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament involved 64 schools playing in single-elimination play to determine the national champion of men's NCAA Division I college basketball. This was the first year the field was expanded to 64 teams, from 53 in the previous year's tournament.
Smith's teams executed the four corners set so effectively that in 1985 the NCAA instituted a shot clock to speed up play and minimize ball-control offense. [ 9 ] [ 32 ] Although fellow Kansas alum McLendon actually invented the four corners offense, Smith got credit for utilizing it in games. [ 29 ]
The referee calls a violation if the offense still has the ball in the backcourt when the shot clock has counted down from 30 to 20 and now shows 19 (which first occurs at 19.9 seconds left). [1] Men's college basketball has had the same rule since 2015-16, when the shot clock changed from 35 seconds to 30 seconds.
