OT: Ugly Courts

[Purple Stein]

Watching Nevada at San Jose State on CBSSN. What on earth is this monstrosity?

My god -- Oregon is playing on some kind of pixelated camo trees.

On ESPN right now. Leave it to Oregon to have a court like this.

They’ve had that for years

I wasn’t huge on UCF’s court having roller coasters

The Memphis skyline one is dumb too.

Over on BEIN, Marshall is playing on a nice, staid court. Everyone should be more like Marshall.

Marshall seems much better offensively than we are.

That court is in need of a wildfire.

The worst.

I've been saying this for years. One of the most ugly/distracting courts I've seen.

The worst.

They definitely pioneered this trend. It looks like a hardwood floor that had fat people walk the same path on for 100 straight years.

@JMick calls these courts "art" , like getting an oil change.

Marshall, Marshall, Marshall

Perhaps I'm an idiot or aesthetically challenged (and yes to both, FWIW) but I like the San Jose St. one. Oregon's was always a bit hideous, but I'd rather play on a court that's a little too busy then a court that's far too boring. Gampel's court is boring looking. Then again, I always liked the vintage HCC court, too. And that's a little boring. So I'm also contradictory.

That court was awesome. That's how small center court logos used to be -- and should be!

The color scheme gave the Civic Center its own identity, too.

Oakland is at Northern Kentucky on ESPNU right now.

Northern Kentucky plays on this horrific stencil:

UCF's is pretty hideous too.

If I were in charge, the kids would have to earn their millennial, avocado toast floors. Win 20 games, the next season you can dribble all over some abstract Viking boat. You can even have it in Rose Gold.

Don't win 20 games? Plain court, wooden benches!

You might want to sit down...UConn will be playing on that floor when they play @ Cincinnati

Purp, do you think the players (kids, millennials, however else you want to negatively label them) have any say in these court designs. I think not. It's some marketing genius, not the players. You're comparing viagra to orange slices.

How about the Cal Bakersfield court?

 

[Stainmaster]

Unffffff

Sweet mother of God.

Hope they don't use blue balls, too.

Court diversity is half the fun in trying to get to all 351 schools

This reads like the start of a cr@ppy Yahoo article written by an "author" who has absolutely no idea what to write about despite all the stuff going on around the world and just resorts to buzzwords to critique a non "issue". What is the point of these shallow (and incorrect) stereotypes? As if you can lump everyone into some category based on when they were born. Because, yah, life is that simple and black and white. Pathetic.

I think you forgot your "#triggered"

And maybe your self-deprecation filter.

Now, get off my lawn.

There's no free wifi there.
