"The Gators also unveiled a new court - the same one on which they won it all. Florida purchased the floor from the NCAA for $70,000 and planned to refinish it before next season. The school's previous floor was 12 years old, and officials said they already had budgeted money for a new one.

But this one was special.

"It feels great," Brewer said. "We've got our fans here, we've got a new court and we're the national champions. What more could you ask for?"

That's actually really cool.......

Michigan State did the same thing.

THAT IS FREAKY!!!!!

Get the NCAA championship used floor... how many years did it have on it?

Maybe the superstition / emotion to players will work for them....

I heard Kentucky did that as well in '96. They still finished it to fit their colors/tradition, with Rupp Arena being painted on it but they bought the actual court from the NCAA.
