religious system revealed by Muhammad, 1818, from Arabic islam, literally submission (to the will of God), from root of aslama he resigned, he surrendered, he submitted, causative conjunction of salima he was safe, and related to salam peace..
Games are played in four quarters of 10 (FIBA) or 12 minutes (NBA). College men's games use two 20-minute halves, college women's games use 10-minute quarters, and United States high school varsity games use 8 minute quarters.
What up Mikey, NBA Basketball is composed of 4 (12 minute quarters). Halftime is 15 minutes. And should the game go to overtime-each overtime period is 5 minutes long. College-NCAA Basketball is composed of 2 (20 minute halves, and overtime periods are also 5 minutes long each). Hope that helps.
