Interim coach leads LSU into NCAA tourney against Iowa State
Associated PressThe AP Top 25 men’s college basketball poll is back every week throughout the season! While stressing Wade’s dismissal for cause was not an acknowledgement of agreement with any of the allegations, LSU said in a statement signed by school President William F. Tate and athletic director Scott Woodward that the men’s basketball program had been operating “under an exhausting shroud of negativity.” “A lot of people feel there’s a dark cloud around LSU basketball,” senior forward Darius Days said. “He’s the one person that was here last time LSU was in this situation as a freshman when coach Wade wasn’t coaching the team, so he understands the pressure and the media and the expectations associated with it, and they were very successful,” Nickelberry said. The Tigers face another struggling team in 11th-seeded Iowa State, which has lost three in a row and doesn’t seem to care too much about the turmoil surrounding LSU. While acknowledging the changes on LSU’s staff made this week “a little hectic,” forward Tari Eason said he thinks it has brought the team even closer.
