30 seconds0 = Miimum 80 possessions per game.
24 seconds = 100 possessions per game.

I'm not sure what the stats are on points per possession in the NCAA but lets for the sake of math say its 1 pt per possession.

In the shift from 35 - 30 secods you would add 11 points per game. Which divided between 2 teams is going to be a couple of hoops each.

24 seconds you would add 21 points. Which is going to be close to a double digit increase in scoring for both teams.

If you want to adjust the shot clock to increase scoring and want a visual the 24 second clock makes more sense. It also means more possessions, more fouls, less time for coaches to run sets and you need coaches grooming more skilled players not controlling the play of a few as often. Better looking game again creating more better players.
