The Big 12 Conference on Wednesday unveiled a full LED glass basketball court for its upcoming men’s and women’s conference tournaments.

Our goal at the Big 12 is simple: keep raising the bar.

“Our goal at the Big 12 is simple: keep raising the bar,” Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark said in a press release. “Elevating our league’s profile and adding real value to our programs requires a willingness to push boundaries.

“Last year, the introduction of the XII pattern on our tournament court did exactly that, and this year we’re taking the next step with ASB GlassFloor. This technology represents the future and bringing it to our basketball tournaments reinforces our commitment to innovation, positioning the Big 12 as a different league and national leader in elevating the game.”

The tournaments mark the first time ASB GlassFloor LED court technology will be used for official competition in the United States.

In addition to being able to change different court designs with the swipe of a finger, the technology will also display shot charts, interactive games and more throughout the tournament.

“Since Commissioner Yormark has been in charge of our league, there have been many new initiatives and developments to promote and elevate the Big 12, and I believe playing on the glass floor is something that will receive great interest,” Kansas men’s basketball coach Bill Self said.

“I’m excited about it. I’m an old school guy, but this has me thinking of new school ways, and from what I’ve seen and heard, this is the wave of the future. I think it’ll be great.”

This marks the latest court redesign for the Big 12 Tournaments, which revealed the XII court last year. At best, it received mixed reviews.
