About time they got rid of the old 3-point line. Why was that still there anyway, does U-High play some games there sometimes?

I think it looks great. The Cox logo isn't even that bad. But no matter what LSU does, many of those on the rant will always find something to complain about. There are a lot of miserable people around here it seems.

I didn't realize it was the same surface just sanded and stained. They really did a nice job with it though.

get rid of the Cox
This x 1000. The double Cox logo's ruin the entire court.

Get that shite off the court and put it on the scoreboard or something. There shouldn't be any tacky permanent advertising anywhere. Put the fricking ads on the scoreboard video screens for play during time outs, halftime, before/after the game.

Overall, this court looks better than the old one, but why is the LSU logo placed right in the center of the Tiger Head? (Should be below the head)

TIGERS along the baseline needs to be bigger too.

Womens basketball still use the old three point line. Not sure if the ladies are gonna have their own court or not.

I actually don't think the Cox thing looks that bad. However, I do think there should be a certain limit to this mentality and that the Athletic Department does not always do a good job of knowing where to draw that line. See, e.g., the stupid static ads taking up nearly half of the TS Jumbotron video screen.

I like it, yet I'm unnerved by the sudden and mysterious desire to discontinue my satellite service and switch to cable.

that is what has been used in the COX student athlete building since they made it a couple of years ago.

Get over the COX logo pansy arse girls. Watch the game not the logo
Not much point in painting it if that's the case. I wonder if they originally had the COX and SEC logo's switched...

If it wasn't for corporate partners like Cox, LSU wouldn't have a new basketball court.
