Oregon's new basketball court

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

In keeping with the Oregon tradition of aesthetically abusive products...



Seems like they could've saved some cash by strapping some sand paper to the feet of a drunken frat guy, let him glide around for 20 minutes, and pay him in Natty Light.

Could be worse.

i can honestly say that i never thought i'd see "distressed" basketball courts. the new that is already old and you pay extra for.

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

Could be worse.

Because it "could be worse" that means it's not god awful? I don't follow.

[Screw_Michigan]

Exactly, moron.

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

So nothing can actually be bad, since according to the laws of logic, it "could be worse?" That's what you're rolling with?

[Shoalzie]

I thought the photo was pixelated until I saw the seats. Is that supposed to a hoop under the O?

[MuchoBulls]

That's pretty sweet looking

[Dinsdale]

Is that supposed to a hoop under the O?

I'm not sure -- but it might be a very stylized "Matt."

Since Mac Court is replaced by Matt Court (in honor of Matt Knight, who died a few years ago, and his dad paid for the building).

[MuchoBulls]

Looks like the name of the arena under the O

Thanks for letting me off the hook as the ugliest court in college basketball.

Sin,

I think A&M's court would be fine if they just went to a normal "T" at midcourt. That star looks stupid. Otherwise, it's fine.

A smaller aTm would be more appropriate. As I've said in threads before on court designs, the overkill the schools and the NCAA got with insisting on filling in the 2pt area with colors or patterns or any god forgiven designs (see: Florida throughout the years) has been the worst.

From the company that designed Oregon's court: Another version they considered.

That looks like a level from Zelda.

Only played Zelda a few times so I'll leave the faggotry up to you.

the 90's trend of a "basketball" filling in the key circle was the worst, imo. Nebraska still had this at the Devaney Center until just a couple years ago. the Allen FH KU Jayhawk at center court is also overly-gigantic like the ATM star logo. not a fan of ATM's court, but it's unique.

That's not unusual, almost all teams went to that style as a marketing effort. Same thing with teams going with initials and words under logos.

Although it's gaudy and disgusting, so is modern marketing. And the bball in the key circle isn't worse than filing in the 2pt area.

i had the UO court explained to me today. if you look at the first pic, it's the vantage point of someone lying on their back in the woods staring up at the sky. the edges of the court lined with trees....douglas firs or pines of whatever they have in Org.

[Bizzarofelice]

looks like Hebrew lettering under the O

Mizzou gets to play on that new court. I'm guessing nobody on the Mizzou squad has ever laid on their backs in nature and looked up at the sky.


worst is Gallagher Iba. I can't remember what the court looks like, but I remember hating it a lot along with everything else that happens in there. fuck Travis Ford.

I absolutely refuse to watch any TV game broadcast from OK ST, much like Duke. That camera angle just blows. Period. I'd rather watch a dome game half-stadium because the angle is lower.

[Truman]

Here's the floor.

Now, focus about 750 zillion watts of television lighting upon the surface, and you have a phenomena known as the "Glare Cam", which renders every single game televised out of that shithole completely unwatchable.

[King Crimson]

Gallagher-Iba is like the camera is in a helicopter. sucks. Kyle Field is a little that way to me as well.

[Dinsdale]

i douglas firs or pines of whatever they have in Org.

Both?

Lots of different trees in Oregon, believe it or not.

Pines on the Eastside/Dryside, firs on the Wetside... Eugene of course being West.

[King Crimson]

i only meant the trees on the court, not suggesting by any means that Oregon has limited or deficient flora. :D
