Among the rules changes in place for the NIT, TCU men’s basketball coach Jamie Dixon envisions the elimination of one-and-one free throw opportunities to be the greatest adjustment for players and coaches during the 32-team tournament.
TCU (19-15) begins its NIT journey Wednesday against Fresno State (20-12) in Schollmaier Arena (7 p.m., ESPN3). The 32-team tournament will be played with experimental rules that were not in place during the regular season and will not be used during the NCAA Tournament.
Among them: Each half will include two 10-minute segments, with each team’s foul total reset at zero at the start of each segment (similar to quarters for NBA games).
