"I'm feeling good. Obviously the floor is a bit slippery, so I think I just kind of misstepped or did a movement that caused me to slip and kind of ended up in a little unnatural position. That's what it was."
"The innovative glass surface has drawn mixed reviews during the Big 12 women's tournament last week and the first two days of the men's tournament this week. It has been praised by coaches and players alike for its glitzy ability to display graphics and hype up the fans, but numerous players in both of the events have complained about its relatively slick nature."
"It's definitely different. It's obviously a different surface than we're used to playing on, and there were some challenging movements today, is what I would say."
Texas Tech guard Christian Anderson sustained a groin strain during the Big 12 tournament game against No. 7 Iowa State when his foot slipped on the new glass floor near the free throw line with approximately 8 minutes remaining. The innovative glass surface, designed to display graphics and enhance fan engagement, has generated mixed reactions throughout the women's and men's tournaments. While praised for its visual appeal, numerous players have reported the floor's slippery nature creates safety concerns. Anderson's injury compounds Texas Tech's challenges, as the team already lost All-American forward JT Toppin to a season-ending ACL tear. The Red Raiders fell 75-53 to Iowa State.
