The Big 12 is hitting the glass.
The conference, in partnership with ASB GlassFloor, introduced a full LED video sports floor that will debut at the 2026 Phillips 66 Big 12 Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournaments this March at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City.
What is ASB GlassFloor?
According to a statement, it is a "next-generation, high-performance sports floor that meets the standards of modern hardwood courts. Integrated LED technology beneath the playing surface unlocks dynamic, interactive digital graphics and capabilities impossible on traditional courts. Vetted at the highest levels and used during events at NBA All Star 2024, as well as in EuroLeague professional games and FIBA-sanctioned competitions, the digital court enhances the fan experience both in-arena and on broadcast. It enables real-time branding, in-game activations, and data-driven visuals that seamlessly adapt across basketball and other sports without compromising performance, durability, or student-athlete safety."
“Our goal at the Big 12 is simple: keep raising the bar,” Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark said in a statement. “Elevating our league’s profile and adding real value to our programs requires a willingness to push boundaries. Last year, the introduction of the XII pattern on our tournament court did exactly that, and this year we’re taking the next step with ASB GlassFloor. This technology represents the future and bringing it to our basketball tournaments reinforces our commitment to innovation, positioning the Big 12 as a different league and national leader in elevating the game.”
The Big 12 women's basketball tournament will debut the floor on Wednesday, March 4 with the opening of the conference tourney. The Big 12 men's tourney will utilize it beginning on Tuesday, March 10.
