Time-Lapse Court Creations

The Court for the March Madness Final Four is Ready for Game Time

— March 27, 2014 — Lifestyle
With the March Madness Final Four game fast approaching, 'Connor Sports' creates the court that these elite teams will battle on. Made out of multiple slots of wood, the court slowly takes shape as each piece is put together. With a fresh paint job and a buffing, the court is almost ready for playing on. The final touch to be added is the March Madness Final Four logo at center court. Once the final paint has dried and a final buff is done, this court is ready for the game.

For college basketball players, playing during March Madness is a dream. Many teams will be eliminated, but a select few will grace the court of the March Madness Final Four greats. At the end of the two days, only two teams will survive and they will battle each other for the spot as top dogs in the NCAA basketball world.
