Trent Johnson had some sage words for his team after the opening of the new digs.
“The place is unbelievable,” he said. “But what I told the kids is that usually when we have facilities like this, it’s done after you’ve won a lot of games in the NCAA Tournament.
“I told them, ‘I want you to think about that. It’s time for us to start paying back some people in terms of playing this game and winning our share of games, because usually this stuff is done after you’ve won.’ ”
