Names of the 82 counties surrounding the court. And "Starkvegas" in the end zone.

Otherwise looks really nice.

Agreed. They ruined a pretty slick design with Starkvegas.

state really needs to stop putting #hailstate on everything, looks tacky

Are the counties a "this is our state" thing?
I'm surprised they didn't put a "we ring true" sticker somehwere.
Might as well put, we are little brother, little brother we are from free throw line to free throw line.

Not bad, minus the Starkvegas part

Noting OP's accuracy rating I'll be surprised if the court has Maroon anywhere on it, much less StarkVegas

I can see Ole Miss players already wanting to shoot from the right corner on the left side of the court repping their county.

As long as the Bulldog that looks like he is about to mount the M State is gone, I'm fine with it.

One of the more subtle details, what looks from a distance to be a design around the outside of the court, is actually a listing of all 82 counties in Mississippi. Five inches tall and painted in gray, they represent the populace of the state and the fact that the University owns property in every county in Mississippi.
Of note, Oktibbeha County – where Starkville and MSU are located – is the only one to appear in white, located at midcourt between the home and visiting benches. In front of the scorer’s table is the state of Mississippi, also in white, with a maroon X over the location of Starkville marking the spot for players to check into the game.

In an additional display of that local pride, Starkvegas – the nickname for Starkville – has been placed specifically in front of the student section along the baseline. Senior Associate Athletic Director Scott Wetherbee was one of several in the department working on the project and said the idea was to capture the energy and atmosphere of the city by painting it front of the student body.
