Resetting the shot clock to 20 seconds when the ball is inbounded in the front court after a foul or violation ( ex. kicked ball ) by the defense. If there are more than 20 seconds on the shot clock in this situation, the shot clock will not be reset. Previously the shot clock was reset to the full 30 seconds regardless of the time remaining on the shot clock. Allow referees to use instant replay in the final 2 : 00 of the second half and / or overtime to determine if a secondary defensive player was either inside or outside of the restricted arc. If the defender was inside the arc, a blocking foul will be called. If the defender is outside of the restricted area, then a player control foul ( charge ) will be called. Require a minimum of 0.3 seconds to be taken off the game clock when the ball is legally touched on a throw - in or other situation. Make throw - in spots more consistent in the front court. Redefine a `` legal screen '' to require the inside of the screener 's feet be no wider than his shoulders. The NCAA approved a number of experimental rule changes for use in the 2018 postseason NIT : Games were played in 10 - minute quarters instead of 20 - minute halves, matching current practice in NCAA women 's basketball. The `` one - and - one '' foul shot was not used. Instead, starting with the fifth total foul in each quarter, non-shooting fouls by the defensive team resulted in two free throws, with the only exception being administrative technical fouls. This also matched current NCAA women 's practice. The three - point line was extended to the current FIBA distance of 6.75 m ( 22 ft 1.75 in ) from the center of the basket, except where the arc approaches the sideline ; the line was a minimum distance of 3 feet ( 0.91 m ) from the sidelines. The free throw lane was extended to the 16 - foot width used in NBA and FIBA play, instead of the NCAA standard of 12 feet. After an offensive rebound, the shot clock was reset to 20 seconds instead of 30. Season headlines May 9, 2017 -- The Missouri Valley Conference ( MVC ) announced that it extended an invitation to Valparaiso University to take effect July 1, with negotiations between the parties ongoing. Under its terms, the Crusaders would replace Wichita State University, departing on the same date for the American Athletic Conference. May 10 -- The NCAA announced its Academic Progress Rate ( APR ) sanctions for the 2017 -- 18 school year.

May 25 -- The MVC officially announced Valparaiso would join on July 1, as reported earlier in the month. June 15 -- Following a prolonged investigation into the Louisville program, after claims by a self - described madam that she had provided strip shows and sex parties at the Cardinals ' team residence, Minardi Hall, for Cardinals players and prospective recruits, the NCAA announced the following penalties, subject to a planned appeal by Louisville : Four years of probation. A reduction of four scholarships in all over the probation period, with Louisville choosing when to take the reductions. Former director of basketball operations Andre McGee, who was found to have paid $10,000 from 2010 to 2014 in exchange for the parties, received a 10 - year show - cause penalty. Head coach Rick Pitino was suspended for the Cardinals ' first five ACC games in the coming season. Louisville was required to forfeit all money received from conference revenue sharing stemming from its appearances in the 2012 -- 2015 NCAA tournaments. All players who participated in the parties and played for Louisville were held to be ineligible. The school had 45 days to provide the NCAA with a list of games affected, and was to vacate any games in which ineligible players were involved. This would ultimately cost Louisville its 2013 national championship and 2012 Final Four appearance ( see February 20 ), making Louisville the first Division I basketball champion ( for either sex ) to be stripped of its title.

Court documents also allege that an apparel company later identified as Adidas paid $100,000 to the family of an unnamed player to ensure his signing with an unnamed school that was later identified as Louisville.
