Pictures of the new men's basketball rooms

SDSU Assistant AD for Development Mike Burgers led my wife and I around to some of the new facilities on the SDSU campus. Here are some pictures of the new dedicated rooms for the men's basketball team, shown to us by head coach Scott Nagy himself. First, the team lounge, which still had that new-room smell (and since it's only been done for a couple of weeks, that only makes sense!) I didn't get nearly as many pictures of the guys' digs as I did of the women's rooms, mainly because the guys haven't been in their new off-court home for as long as the women have. Anyway, here's a peek:
