Why are college basketball games played in 2 halves but the NBA is played in four quarters?
this question sucks actually not that stupid of a question? they play 4 quarters in high school? only sport that is same in high school yet totally changes in college? of course quarters only 8 minutes in high school and 12 in nba, so no reason they couldn't have 4 - 10 minute quarters in college? games go from 32 minutes in high school to 40 minutes in college to 48 minutes in nba, understand length goes up, but the reason it goes to halves in ncaa instead of quarters? still don't undertand why they cant play 4 - 10 minute quarters? only sport were high school is more like pro`s then college is?
