Mark me in favor, only true detriment is lack of OT.

Those worried about buzzer beaters are simply not recognizing that every game ending on a made shot is better.  Essentially the same drama and it will occur way more frequently (both via a winning shot and likely more 'either team could win next possession' type games). If you want someone call blow a giant horn whenever the team hits the targeted point total.

Has anyone ever played pickup basketball? A game winning shot occurs every game and this is infinitely better than 1/20 games or whatever ending with some legendary buzzer beater. You test your mettle with who is willing to shoot in those moments and/or who gets the yips.  You'd never, ever play pickup on a time-clock and the games would undoubtedly be worse. Some team would score 2 pts then site on the ball and there'd eventually be fisticuffs. I'm not sure if the NCAA or NBA should do this, but absolutely perfect for the NIT and for the TBT, D-league should try it too.
