Clemson athletics’ social media accounts posted a time-lapse video of the re-imagined court and a couple of things stood out. First, the painted area by both baskets has changed color this year. Last year the painted areas were regalia, while this year they're orange to match the school’s primary color. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> The other significant change is at midcourt, where the Tiger's paw looks a bit smaller this year, roughly 25 percent smaller. <figure><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> Our new court has arrived! 🐅🏀 <a href="https://twitter.com/ClemsonMBB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow"> @ClemsonMBB </a> || <a href="https://twitter.com/ClemsonWBB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow"> @ClemsonWBB </a><a href="https://t.co/P3gszt9Brp" rel="nofollow"> pic.twitter.com/P3gszt9Brp </a> — Clemson Athletics (@ClemsonTigers) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClemsonTigers/status/1831701536688501079?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow"> September 5, 2024 </a></blockquote></figure><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script> On the far sideline of the court it says Littlejohn Coliseum in white lettering on orange paint, as it did a year ago. On either side of that is the IPTAY logo in regalia, which is a newer touch this year. Also, on either side of the court is a logo for a court sponsor, something that wasn’t there at the start of the time-lapse video. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> It’s not unusual for basketball courts to undergo work like this every one or two years, depending upon wear and tear or changes in school colors or sponsorship logos. The Clemson men will play their first regular-season game on the new court on Nov. 4 when they host Charleston Southern. Before that, Clemson will play Augusta in an exhibition game on Oct. 30. Clemson also has non-conference home games scheduled with <a href="https://www.si.com/college/college-basketball/team/saint-francis-u-red-flash" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Saint Francis </a> (Nov. 8), <a href="https://www.si.com/college/college-basketball/team/eastern-kentucky-colonels" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Eastern Kentucky </a> (No. 12), <a href="https://www.si.com/college/college-basketball/team/radford-highlanders" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Radford </a> (Nov. 21), <a href="https://www.si.com/college/college-basketball/team/florida-am-rattlers" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Florida A&amp;M </a> (Nov. 29), <a href="https://www.si.com/college/college-basketball/team/kentucky-wildcats" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Kentucky </a> (Dec. 3) and <a href="https://www.si.com/college/college-basketball/team/memphis-tigers" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Memphis </a> (Dec. 14).
