FAYETTEVILLE — When Hays Myers arrived at Arkansas last spring, he didn’t recognize the building across Leroy Pond Dr. from Bud Walton Arena.
Myers, the special assistant to Razorbacks head coach Eric Musselman, had been to Fayetteville before. For five seasons he served as a student basketball manager at the only college he applied to: LSU.
He was fairly familiar with campus and the visitors locker room, tunnels and training room in Bud Walton Arena having visited a number of times as a Tigers support staffer. The Basketball Performance Center, though, a 66,000-square-foot facility that opened in the fall of 2015, was new to him.
