The Oregon Ducks basketball program has outdone Boise St. football for the most outlandish, outrageous, ugliest & yet most innovative surface in college sports. A tree lined spectacle with phrases & logos galore.
Kilkenny Floor, named for longtime University of Oregon supporter Pat Kilkenny, features the words "Deep In The Woods" painted below a giant midcourt "O" and the word "Matt" which looks a giant green stonehenge. The court is inside the new Matt Knight Arena which is named after its designer, Matthew Knight.
According to oregon.247sports.com, the court's graphics depict Morrow County and Heppner, Oregon where Kilkenny was raised, three shamrocks in honor of his Irish heritage, and a sunset beach scene in honor of San Diego, where Kilkenny resides today. And lots and lots of trees in honor of Oregon's 1939 NCAA Championship basketball team called the "Tall Firs".
The court is so ugly that it's beautiful. If only they'd made the graphics 3D.
