Anyone else notice how often players slipped on the floor?

Every game I watched, players were slipping/falling as they were driving towards the basket......The ball (Wilson) ball still seems to be a bit of an issue, too. ( I have seen more "wedgies" the past 3 days than I have seen all winter long.) I am sure the NCAA has these portable floors all constructed uniformly as far as materials, paints and finishes are concerned.....something seems to be wrong with them. At times the games resemble an NHL game.

I did as well.

Also, wish they would let each hosting city have their own individual floor so you can tell where each game is at.

Des Moines & the state would benefit from the exposure.

Yes.

Footwork, ball handling and shooting all seem to have suffered in this tournament.

Do any have hockey ice under the floor?

City name is prominent in front of scorers’ table.

I noticed it. And, that usually is a contributing factor.

I believe the games in Columbus were in the Blue Jackets arena.

I have noticed the “footing issues” in almost every arena, not just DSM. Some of these games, the guys hit the floor almost as much as the women! And damn, those gals are picking themselves up off the floor all the time!

I wonder if these brand new floors have brand new coating / wax / whatever. They aren't floors that have been played on for the last 4 months.

I also hate the uniform look of the floors. I liked the old days when I could easily tell I was watching a game hosted by Weber State.
