If you're desperate for a Utah connection— any link at all — to the NCAA national championship game today, KSL, and the Tribune, offers homer trivia:

When the NCAA basketball tournament reaches the Final Four, some of the best players in the game are showing their stuff, seen by millions of fans. This high-caliber play needs a high caliber playing surface, and Connor Sport Court of Salt Lake City is the company the NCAA has turned to for the past four years to manufacture and install it.

Company president Ron Cerny, says, "There has to be resiliency in the floor, but also it has to be firm enough so that you have a ball bounce that is true."

And that firm, but resilient, floor is manufactured in Utah.

A better story is who put those slippery temporary NCAA logos that tripped up even the Tar Heels?

Several North Carolina players skidded on the logo, along with players at other sites. Coach Roy Williams made a plea to reporters after the Arkansas game:

Let's stop putting those stupid logos on the floor where kids slip and slide around. Somebody is going to get hurt, and I've said that for years and years and years. And every coach here at this site said this is a mistake to have that... it is dangerous.

The people here did everything they could do. They washed it with ammonia, they washed it with Wendy's super-burger-whatever, I mean, they did everything they could. They need to rip the dadgum things up.

Coach Roy may get his wish. The decals will get an extensive review after the tournament. (The floors at the Final Four and the four NCAA regional sites were never scheduled to have decals pressed onto them.)
