Regarding that coach...
Quote:LSU fired Wade on the eve of the NCAA tournament back in 2022 after the school received a notice of allegations from the NCAA detailing five Level I violations and a Level II violation involving Wade. He was also suspended shortly before the 2019 NCAA tournament after reports revealed that a federal wiretap captured him discussing a "strong-ass offer" for a recruit.https://abc11.com/post/mcneeses-will-wad.../16051801/
He was ultimately given a two-year show-cause order and a 10-game suspension in June 2023 for three Level I violations, after being found to have made impermissible payments to the former fiancee of a player, while also failing to cooperate in an investigation and failing to promote an atmosphere of compliance.
Not that it matters much, but Creighton was the 9 seed, Louisville the 8. . . .Still, not a good look for the ACC.
Free Phogge!!!! And no, crimson doesn't refer to the Tide.
