NDSU gets new floor :

North Dakota State is getting more than just a men’s basketball game at Kansas State this year. The Bison have the Wildcats’ floor.
NDSU bought the three year-old wooden surface for $79,000. Athletic director Gene Taylor said a new one of that quality would cost around $120,000.
“(Kansas State) got another one just because they could,” Taylor said. “It was out there on the market.”
NDSU’s old floor was damaged to the point of being noticeable during games.
“More dead spots than the Boston Celtics thought of having,” said head coach Tim Miles, in reference to the aged Boston Garden surface.
The floor still had the Kansas State purple paint on it when it was being laid at the Sports Arena on Tuesday. It will be stripped and replaced with NDSU’s colors.
