The Ohio State basketball program has been teasing new courses for each of the last few days. They decided to change the look of their courts before this upcoming season as they look to change their fortunes on the court, as well. The Buckeyes have had a rough few seasons.
Jake Diebler is confident that he can turn things around, but he will be under an enormous amount of pressure to do that next season. He will be doing so on top of two brand-new court designs. After looking at them myself, I have to say that they are very cool designs.
The Ohio State basketball program unveils two awesome new basketball court designs
Take a look at each of the designs that the Ohio State Buckeyes will have next season for both the men's and women's basketball programs.

The Block O at the center of the court is a nice touch that really gives the Buckeyes a more defined look. While the script Buckeyes is a little large, having it in script form is a nice touch. That's the only way to really do that kind of design if a word is going to be on center court.
Fans on social media seem to enjoy the new court designs as well.
These are fire

While the new courts are really nice, the Buckeyes still need to put a good product on them. The men and the women both struggled last season. Dieber is under a lot of pressure to perform this year now that it's his second full season as a head coach.
Kevin McGuff is facing more heat after an offseason arrest for drunk driving. Neither coach is in the best situation heading into next season. At least fans will get to see a very cool design on the court for most of the games that they play at home.
