SALT LAKE CITY – The Big 12 Conference is rolling out a new court for the 2026 conference tournaments in Kansas City.

The floor is from ASB GlassFloor and it marks the first time that the court will be used for official competition in the United States.
Last week, Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark teased that an enhancement to the Big 12 Tournament would be announced, and it’s this new floor.
The ASB GlassFloor was used in the 2024 NBA All-Star Game and in the EuroLeague, as well as in FIBA-sanctioned competitions.

“Our goal at the Big 12 is simple: keep raising the bar,” said Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark. “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.”
