A bit of schedule news...it looks like we've got a game at Youngstown State on November 13 (from a tweet talking about YSU's schedule)

So what does anyone think of the new court...I'm not liking it. Hopefully it will just take time to get use to or maybe it looks better in person.

New court is OK.  Sure does beat that eyesore Oregon has.

I think it looks pretty good, personally. I like it a lot more than the odd logo outline thing we had on it before.

Thank you for posting those pictures ST_Lawson.

Does anybody else think the very dark brown stained perimeter clashes with the very light lane and court? I'm fine with the Rocky mascot logo at Mid-Court. The wordmark LEATHERNECKS looks OK (maybe it's not really a wordmark, just a font that was selected).

It is distinctive.  Is it garish?  I stopped knowing anything about fashion and trends about 20 years ago, so what do I know :)
