A college basketball game typically lasts around 2 hours. The game consists of two halves, each lasting 20 minutes, for a total of 40 minutes of playing time. However, the actual duration can be longer due to timeouts, halftime (which lasts about 15 minutes), fouls, free throws, and other stoppages in play. Overtime periods, if necessary, last 5 minutes each. The total length of the game can vary based on the pace of play and other factors.
