New coach, new floor ..... it'll be like a whole new program.

By next winter, Husker basketball players will be dribbling on a new court, with a new design and maybe a new logo.
Pinnacle Bank Arena officials are seeking bids on a new floor to be delivered in September and in use for next season.
And fans will be able to weigh in on the floor design in mid-March.
After six years of use and multiple installations, the current maple floor is getting old and some of the built-in cushioning isn't as strong as it used to be, said Tom Lorenz, arena manager.
The university is also looking at a new design, he said. So there will be a new floor with an entirely new look.
Nebraska Athletics will be seeking fan feedback on the floor design this spring.
Nebraska has four potential designs that will be unveiled on social media platforms, probably during the second week in March, said Marc Boehm, executive associate athletic director.
