Interesting read on the effects of the shot clock change thus far in NCAAB.

Possession Statistics:
Logic would dictate that a condensed shot clock forces teams to play faster and in turn regain possession more frequently over the course of a game. Stats from KenPom.com indicate that this prediction has become a reality early in the college basketball season.
In 2014-15, the average offensive trip lasted 18.4 seconds, which yielded an average of 64.8 possessions per 40 minutes. This season, the average length of an offensive possession has been slashed to 17 seconds, resulting in an increase in average possessions per 40 minutes to 70. These numbers point towards an expedited pace of play in college basketball, the intended effect sought by the NCAA when instituting the abbreviated shot clock.

Offensive Production & Efficiency:
The NCAA hoped that hastening the pace of play would bolster scoring across the nation, a phenomenon that has in fact taken the country by storm this season. After scoring an average of 67.5 points per game in 2014-15, team production has skyrocketed to 73.9 points per game in 2015, approximately a 10% jump.

It has definitely spared us the coaching genius of Dale Brown's interminable four-corner offense.
I think that someone deserves a prize for shot clock.

IMO it's made a noticeable difference in pace of play. I think the only thing that's negated it early on in the season is the emphasis on the foul on the perimeter, but that's improving as well.
