What is the largest margin loss in basketball?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The largest lead margin in basketball is the one done by the Philippine team

The Philippine team registered what could be the world's biggest lead in an international basketball game when it massacred Brunei Darussalam, 160-19, at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium on July 2, 2000. The 141-point lead could be the biggest for any Pinoy team since the Americans introduced basketball in the Philippines. During the game, the RP team limited the Brunei squad to only 19 points.

How long is the average NCAA basketball game?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Assuming you are talking about general playing time, then it would require too much research and arithmetic, but a NCAA regulation basketball game is 2 20 minute periods, or halves, so 40 minutes. But there is overtime(s), which are 5 minute periods. So you have, say, Arizona vs. Oregon which is 40 minutes, and UConn and Syracuse that is 70 minutes.
