New NIU Convocation Center Court Unveiled

DEKALB, Ill. – NIU Athletics and the NIU Convocation Center installed a new basketball floor on Monday (Oct. 16), just in time for the 2023-24 Huskie Basketball seasons. The new court replaces the previous version which debuted in 2014. This will be the third court used since the Convocation Center opened in 2002.
