Heiges Field House has a new hardwood basketball floor. Installed in mid-December, it made its debut on January 5 in games against West Chester. The installation by a Ship work crew and Connor Floor employees was videotaped and can be viewed at raiders.ship.edu. Connor Floor designs playing surfaces and constructs floors for events like the summer Olympics in Athens and the NCAA Final Four competition in the RCA Dome.

Gannon Associates, a local insurance company whose logo appears on the floor, made a ten-year commitment to support SU athletics.
