Per report in Lexington Herald Leader today.

The University of Kentucky men’s basketball team will forever have a losing record on the third court to grace the Rupp Arena floor. After just one game, it’s being replaced. Rupp Arena announced in a social media post Thursday afternoon that officials were “not satisfied” with the court and the company that built the playing surface — Robbins Inc. — would be delivering a new floor as soon as possible. The court was installed for Kentucky’s home game against UNC Wilmington on Dec. 2, and UK — just four days removed from a 22-point blowout of No. 8 Miami on the “old” Rupp court — lost a shocker to the visiting Seahawks, who pulled off an 80-73 upset over the heavily favored Wildcats. The loss had nothing to do with the quick switch, obviously.

I can hear the "17 percent" now: "Should have replaced the $9 million coach instead of the 200K floor." They're so stupid!

They should donate that floor to the Community College that beat us on it and their coach who makes $7.65/hour who outcoached our $9MM + millions in perks guy.

"Cal knows what he is doing, it's just that the floor wouldn't listen and had to go" LOL!

It was way too bright on my eyes so I’m glad they got rid of it even though it looked great

They should name the new floor "Coach Cal's Court" after the Hall of Famer.
