1973

In the lowest scoring game in men’s NCAA basketball history, Tennessee defeats Temple 11-6. Due to the lack of a shot clock and a fear of Tennessee’s high-powered offense, Temple was willing and able to hold the ball and stall for nearly 13 minutes of the first half and over 16 minutes of the second half. The game is often cited as a main imperative of the NCAA adding a shot clock, though it wasn’t officially adopted until 1985.
