The Big 12 Conference has announced that its upcoming men's and women's basketball tournaments will be played on a cutting-edge LED video court, rather than a traditional hardwood floor. The video floor, supplied by ASB GlassFloor, can display graphics, video, and even the court lines, while providing the same bounce and grip as a wood court. The women's tournament will be the first to use the innovative floor starting March 4, followed by the men's tournament from March 10-14.
Why it matters
The use of a high-tech LED video court is an attempt by the Big 12 to push the boundaries of sports presentation and enhance the fan experience. It represents the latest innovation in basketball court design and could set a new standard for major college basketball tournaments.
The details
The LED video court features a screen that covers the entire playing surface, allowing for the display of graphics, video, and even the court lines. According to the manufacturer, ASB GlassFloor, the floor provides the same bounce and grip as a traditional wood court, while also being lighter on players' knees and ankles due to a spring system underneath. The floor has been used previously at the NBA's All-Star Weekend and in select European competitions.
- The Big 12 Conference women's tournament will be the first to play on the LED video court starting March 4, 2026.
- The Big 12 Conference men's tournament will take place on the LED video court from March 10-14, 2026.
