TCU’s run to Madison Square Garden starts tonight! The No 1. seeded Frogs host No. 8 Sam Houston State in the first round, with the winner set to face the winner of Nebraska-Butler.
One cool thing about the NIT is that they experiment with potential rule changes. Here are a few to keep an eye on tonight:
- The three point line is being pushed back to 22 feet, 1.75 inches (the same distance used by FIBA), or about a foot and a half behind the traditional college three-point line.
- The lane is being widened from 12 feet to 16 feet, making it consistent with the NBA lane.
