The fancy new floor?

[mdlUK.1]

Is that fancy court they are using for BBM a one time thing or is it permanent?

One time thing... For now.

Could be an advantage, their best shooter on the foul line, game on the line and floor goes studio 54 crazy.

One time thing. I'm sure Rupp will use it for all kinds of events going forward though.

Im guessing it isn't a sanctioned floor by the NCAA, similar to the NBA. I'd be surprised if it ever is, but who knows....

It is cool though.

It could definitely give an unfair home court advantage if taken to the extreme.

Player on the other team prepares to shoot a 3........ooops. toe on the (moving) line!

I am guessing there would be rules in place to prevent it being used for an advantage than actual game play just like the do for playing music etc over the speaker system.

They say it’s got similar grip to a wood floor but I have to wonder how grippy it is when it gets wet.

Anyone know if the old awkward floor from years prior is now gone? Something about the new one they tried last year was too slick or something? Is it fixed? I loved the state of KY in the middle vs that hideous bank logo.

Yes..the floor they had last year for one game has been fixed and is back.

The expense of that has got to be insane. The floor doesn't belong to Rupp. It's being rented for a one time thing.

That usually directly coincides with the Hot/crazy scale
