The Big 12 Conference will finish its men’s basketball tournament on a traditional hardwood court after complaints were raised about the league's new glass floor. The decision was made following concerns about safety and performance of the court, which players and coaches felt different from traditional hard wood. The Big 12 had previously played on a high-tech LED glass court at the T-Mobile Center, which was designed to display graphics and animations during games. The change was announced following discussions with the coaches of the four semifinal teams, Arizona, Houston, Iowa State and Kansas, and the tournament had been played on the hightech court. Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark expressed his desire to provide student-athletes with the greatest level of comfort on a large stage for the remainder of the Tournament.
