Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby, whose conference teams had the longest average game time of 3:36, admitted some games are too long.
"Staying under 3:25 is an appropriate aspiration," Bowlsby said.
Only one Big 12 team, Kansas State at 3:24, averaged less than Bowlsby's 3:25 target. In fact, of the five teams nationally with the longest average games, four were from the Big 12: Texas Tech was first at 3:48, followed by Oklahoma State at 3:47, Baylor and Cal at 3:45 and Texas at 3:44.
