Former LSU men’s basketball coach [autotag]Will Wade[/autotag] is finding early success at his newest stop.
Wade returned to the college coaching ranks this offseason as he accepted a job at McNeese, and despite serving a 10-game suspension as a result of the NCAA allegations against him, which ultimately resulted in his ouster from LSU, his team is 11-2, ranks 54th in the NET and pulled off its most impressive win of the season on Friday night.
The Cowboys stunned Big Ten foe Michigan in a buy game, giving them their second Quadrant 2 win of the season. They have the best record in the Southland Conference by a wide margin and are a likely NCAA Tournament team.
That’s obviously a tough pill to swallow for LSU, which has struggled quite a bit since Wade was fired. New coach [autotag]Matt McMahon[/autotag] went just 2-16 in SEC play in Year 1, and his team sits at 8-5 heading into what will be a very difficult conference schedule.
Wade, meanwhile, could find himself back in a big-time job sooner rather than later.
