My understanding is that they had to replace it on the fly.
It was basically a giant iPad that they could project stuff on, but the players kept slipping on it and getting hurt because the surface was basically like thick glass, so they hurriedly switched it out for a traditional wooden floor. The wild thing is the women had to play on the iPad surface for their entire tournament.

The early games had it lighting
up beneath the floor, and it was the most distracting thing I've ever seen. The players and coaches complained, so they went with just an ugly grey floor. Bet they don't try that again.

Evidently the floor was made of glass. Footing was terrible.
Big 12 replaced it during the men's tournament, I think before the quarter-finals. Idea sounded good in a slide deck, I guess.

Maybe they can have the betting line for each play showing on the floor. 🤦
