Ohio State crowdsources new basketball court design

With the departures of veteran leaders Keita Bates-Diop, Jae’Sean Tate, Kam Williams, and Andrew Dakich, the Ohio State men’s basketball team is going to look considerably different when they start play in November. However, that won’t be the only thing that looks different, as yesterday the university’s athletic department unveiled the four finalists to be the new court design for the Value City Arena.

Check out all four options and vote for your favorite below.

Last week, OSU asked fans to vote on their favorite designs, and four made the final cut. From there, the options will be turned over to the men’s and women’s basketball programs, who will have the final decision as to which hardwood will be gracing the Schottenstein Center this fall.

Fans were initially given 10 options to choose from, with varying colors, designs, patterns, and buckeye leaf integration. You can see all 10 of the original options here. Check out the finalists below.

Court #1

Court #2

Court #3

Court #4

While the final decision is in the hands of Chirs Holtmann, Kevin McGuff, and their basketball teams, if it were up to you, which version of the court would you like to see the Buckeyes play on this upcoming season?
