Heard that scoring margin is being capped at 10 pts. Like why the Hell would you even use it then? Blowing a team out by 20+ is one hell of a lot different than a close game that ended up as a double digit loss because of fouling and FTs.

Yeah, 10 is stupid low. I think 20 would be a better ceiling. You can easily get to 10 just by the trailing team missing 3's and you hitting your subsequent free throws. It might be a close game until the final minute. You should get credit for winning by a larger margin than 10.

Not sure why the NCAA can't just get on board with a diminishing marginal margin system. As in, the difference between winning by 1 vs 2 pts is more than 30 vs 31.

A lot of teams may change their end of game strategy though which could be interesting

Losing by 1 may be a better deal than risking losing by 8-10
