ASU’s basketball court selected as one of the ugliest in NCAA

Take it for what it’s worth, but ESPN.com’s Page 2 has named ASU’s basketball court as one of the five ugliest in the NCAA.

The site, ESPN’s version of a humorous sports blog, placed the Wells Fargo Arena court as the fourth ugliest in all of college hoops.

The Sun Devils’ court makes this list for one reason: The giant cartoon basketball at the top of each lane. ASU hoops fans, apparently, have hard time remembering what sport they are watching.

After years of poor play, it doesn’t seem like anyone should hold it against fans if they needed “giant cartoon basketballs” to remind them of the sport they’re watching.

The years between the end of the Freider era and the start of the Sendek era left the fans in the building half asleep. Right now, the solid product playing on the court is much more important than the graphics on it.

Ironically enough, maybe someone at ESPN Page 2 needs giant posted notes at the top of their computer screens that read “check your facts”. ASU’s court no longer includes “giant cartoon basketballs”. It now has a much simpler look.

UPDATE: Thanks to the power of Pitchfork Nation, ESPN Page 2 has removed the blurb about ASU’s court and admitted their information/image were outdated.
