New basketball court's eye-catching design brought to life by Tigers for Tigers
More than 18,000 Memphis Tigers basketball fanatics packed the FedExForum on Thursday night for their first look at one of the most anticipated teams in school history.
The team itself — highlighted by its freshmen that comprise the No. 1 2019 recruiting class in the country — wasn't the only thing captivating the audience.
The Tigers' new court, which the team will play on all season inside FedExForum, instantly grabbed the sold-out crowd's attention. From the blue stain to the Tiger stripes on the baseline, sideline and in the lane, it's a court that will be noticed nationally, just as head coach Penny Hardaway's team will be, throughout the 2019-20 season.
