NCAA women’s basketball games typically last around 2 hours. The structure of the game includes:
– Four quarters: Each quarter is 10 minutes long.
– Halftime: There is a 15-minute break between the second and third quarters.
– Timeouts: Teams are allowed a certain number of timeouts, which can extend the overall game time.
– Clock stoppages: The game clock stops for various reasons, such as fouls, timeouts, and out-of-bounds plays, which can also add extra time.
So, while the official playing time is 40 minutes, the total duration of the game usually falls between 1 hour 45 minutes and 2 hours.
