When your nickname is “Norse,” you might as well slap a silhouette of a Viking ship onto your basketball court.

That’s what Northern Kentucky did to John L. Griffin Court at BB&T Arena, debuting the new hardwood, equipped with a large depiction of a Norse Ship, on Wednesday.

“We wanted a new, fresh look for the court to showcase the Norse brand,” NKU athletic director Ken Bothof said in a press release.
