New Court Projections at Final Four

While watching the Final Four basketball games tonight I noticed something very impressive. During the announcements of the starting 5 the lights dimmed and there were projections on the court as normal. As each starter was announced though, the players picture appeared on the court as a projection. The projections looked a lot cleaner than what I've seen in person and they looked high-def. I'm not totally familiar with this new way of projecting as I haven't watched many starting lineup announcements this year, nor do I attend many college or NBA games. As a one time viewer though, that court presentation was very impressive and I'll for sure be watching for more use of it in the future.

  1. I noticed this as well and I found it very interesting as well! Great marketing tool and great experience for the players witch is what the NCAA should be all about, the players!

  2. I was also very impressed by this, but this is not new for me. NHL teams have been doing this for a couple of years now, and some of the introductions are actually pretty cool. Here's a link of the New Jersey introduction; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8pSERIG9LU

  3. I bet teams are constantly improving their technology for their pregame intros to make every game as much as a spectacle for the fans. I wouldn't be surprised if the productions of these pregame intros continue to get more and more impressive as technology continues to improve
