Crews have been actively working to fix the issues and spent the afternoon ripping up the hardwood floors in order to fix the problem, and any other issues they came in contact with.

Due to the condition of the Jack Stephens Center, Thursday's Men's and Women's big doubleheader against UT Martin will now be moved to Simmons Bank Arena.

There is no word on how long it will be before the Jack Stephens Center will be functioning again.

UA Little Rock Athletic Director, George Lee announced on Twitter that there will be a temporary court in place for the Lindenwood game next week.

That court will be used for the remainder of the basketball season.
