KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The biggest talking point to come out of the Big 12 Tournament hasn't been the play on the floor, but the actual floor itself.
The ASB GlassFloor LED court made its debut during last week's Big 12 women's basketball tournament and is continuing to wreak havoc throughout the men's tournament at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri.

There are some cool things about the floor: it can change on demand, show photos and videos, let coaches draw X's and O's on the floor, display in-game statistics, and more.
But it's also being widely criticized, while one Kansas State men's basketball player attributed the floor's lights to a migraine he suffered during the game. Players from teams from both tournaments have complained about how slippery the floor has been. It also appeared to contribute to Texas Tech's Christian Anderson's fall in a Thursday quarterfinal game, leading to his exit.
Kansas State women's basketball coach Jeff Mittie even criticized the Big 12 for having more graphics on the floor for the men's tournament than it had for the women's.
Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark defended the court in his pre-tournament press conference, saying he's received positive feedback as the league continues to innovate.
