Detailing the rules and regulations of The Basketball Tournament | Outside the Lines

The Basketball Tournament has reached the quarterfinals, and each game thus far has featured ‘The Elam Ending’, an innovative way to decide basketball games. Developed by Dr. Nick Elam, who is currently a professor at Ball State University, the Elam Ending is seen as a way to make the closing minutes of games more exciting. Dr. Elam joins Ryan Smith on Outside the Lines to talk about the rules and how they could have application on an even bigger stage.

We used that rule in a league and it definitely improves the games

They did this at the All-Star Game and it was lit.

Never heard of this before. Curious to see some games and see what it looks like in real time.

I like when games are too predictable, helps my gambling habit.

Why the guy wants to get rid of the last boring hour free throws contest of the game?

[@wildzubatappeared]

So he just take street-ball rules 😂😂😂

[@plasma4682]

I missed something. How does the game end when you turn off the clock

[@theeggreat4]

They pick a score to go to basically after a certain amount of points
