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.
