NCAA Reveals Court For 2021 Men’s Final Four

The NCAA has revealed the court design for the 2021 men’s basketball Final Four, which is set to take place at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on April 3 and 5.

The two-tone wood court features the Final Four logo at its center, which is surrounded by sublimated stars that mimic the Indiana state flag. The keys are light blue and bleed into the baseline, which includes the words “NCAA Final Four” on both ends.

The sidelines, meanwhile, feature the phrases “Indy 2021,” “The Road Ends Here,” “Equality” and “Unity” along with a light blue and black paintbrush texture. Both the baselines and sidelines have a gold paint splatter effect that are supposed to “capture the motion and energy of the game.”

Manufactured by Connor Sports, the court is made entirely from sugar maple trees from Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. It is 70 feet by 140 feet, weighs roughly 37 tons and was installed following the conclusion of the Elite Eight on Tuesday night. It took roughly six hours from start to finish.
