3 Will Wade Head 1st Year at LSU 5th Year as a Head Coach Frank William Will Wade was named the 22nd head men s basketball coach at LSU on March 20, He comes to LSU after a two-year stint as the head coach at Virginia Commonwealth University with four years of very successful experience as a head basketball coach. Wade was introduced to LSU fans in a most unique way for an introduction of a Tiger coach -- at a special media event held in the middle of the LSU Student Union. Wade told the media and a large contingent of LSU students: I am so excited about the opportunity to lead this program and LSU Basketball back to the top of the SEC and back to regular, consistent NCAA Tournament appearances. We have been to four Final Fours. We have been to 21 NCAA Tournaments. We have 10 SEC Championships, and we are going to add to all three of those categories over our tenure here. We are going to have players, staff members, everyone in our program is going to be committed to doing what it takes to make LSU the best basketball program that it can be. We are going to have unwavering commitment to put the team first, to put the state first, to put our school first to represent all of these folks in a firstclass fashion. We are going to be a hardworking team that represents this great university that represents this great state, Wade said. LSU and its fans are not looking for a rebuilding program, but taking the foundation and making it solid again a change of culture that gives the program a look of consistency yearafter-year. Wade, one of the youngest coaches in Division I at 34, but one of the most energetic showed his recruiting chops early with a class for the season that was ranked 16th in college basketball in the composite recruiting rankings. Wade s recruiting chops and promotional ideas has created a buzz in the pre-season that hasn t been seen too often and the Coach has done his part, speaking most of the summer on the Tiger Tour and to student groups making sure they feel a part of the program. Coach Wade has been seen on the night prior to football game visiting with folks in the RV lots and on the first day of school was out in a golf cart picking up students and giving them a lift to opening day classes. The native of Nashville, Tennessee, directed VCU to a record and two NCAA Tournament appearances the last two seasons.

He was part of the staff in 2011 when VCU advanced from the NCAA First Four all the way to the Final Four in Houston. During his tenure as a Ram assistant, Wade, who worked closely with VCU s post players, saw the Milwaukee Bucks select center Larry Sanders with the 15th overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft (now with Cleveland). In addition, Wade played a major role in the development of current NBA players Troy Daniels (Memphis) and Briante Weber (Charlotte). Weber owns VCU records for 3-pointers in a single season and career steals. Wade is credited with being a key figure in four top non-power five recruiting classes in his four seasons at VCU.

Wade was VCU Head Coach Shaka Smart s first hire upon being named the head VCU coach in That reputation was cemented prior to his arrival on the VCU campus. He served as an assistant to Tommy Amaker at Harvard in and Much like at VCU, he was Amaker s first hire. In their second year, the Crimson went 14-14, the first season of.500 or better in the program since Wade had a hand in the development of future NBA standout Jeremy Lin and assembled a top 25 recruiting class during his stay.

LAST TIME OUT LSU 84, UT MARTIN 60 The Tigers got back on the winning track and was able to go into the lengthy exam break with an win over UT Martin on Nov. 29. LSU improved its defense and was able to get some things done offensively that made it an easy night on the scoreboard. LSU had three players in double figures with Skylar Mays equaling his highs in field goals (6) and three-point field goals (4) in scoring 18 points in 34 minutes to go with three assists. Duop Reath came off the bench to play 21 minutes and hit for 15 points and nine rebounds. Daryl Edwards had his best game since coming to LSU, getting 25 minutes on the court with three treys in a 15-point, three-assist and no turnover night. The Tigers for the fourth time this season shot 50 percent or better, this time exactly 50 percent (31-of-62). LSU was an impressive on two-point shots in the game (65.6%). LSU made 10 treys on 30 attempts. Tremont Waters, the LSU freshman point guard, struggled from the field, hitting just 2-of-10 shots but realizing that passed the ball around to the tune of 10 assists with four steals and just one turnover in 34 minutes of play. LSU jumped out to a halftime advantage and then didn t let up in the second half, LSU MEN S BASKETBALL

The Tigers had a advantage in points in the paint and scored 29 points off the 18 UTM turnovers, while UTM got only five off LSU s seven turnovers. LSU SHOOTS 50 PERCENT AGAIN AGAINST UTM In four of LSU s first six contests, the Tigers opened with two games shooting 60 percent or better and has since then had two more games of 50 percent or better from the floor, all LSU wins: Alcorn State (11/10) 36-of % Samford (11/16) 39-of % Michigan (11/20) 27-of % UTM (11/29) 31-of % LSU s first three games of the season equaled out to 102-of-170 (60.0%), the third best three-game field goal shooting percentage since 1975: Jan (106/170, 62.4%) Feb (95/158, 60.1%) Nov (102/170, 60.0%) For the season, LSU is shooting 52.6 percent ( ), best in the SEC and fifth in the nation. Last year, LSU shot 45.1 percent from the field. LSU will be looking to improve its field goal percentage defense which after six games stands at 47.6 percent (161-of-338), 14th in the conference CAREER DOUBLE-DOUBLES AARON EPPS (3) Game Date Pts Reb (1) Gardner-Webb 12/16/ (2) Auburn 1/18/ Ole Miss 2/14/ DUOP REATH (7) Game Date Pts Reb (7) Wofford 11/12/ Old Dominion 11/24/ Miss.

State 3/4/ LSU INSIDE THE ARC As of Tuesday, LSU, according to TeamRankings.com, was No. 1 in the country when it came to shooting inside the arc. The Tigers are at 63.1 percent, including 21-of-32 in the last game against UTM (65.6%). This is up from last season when LSU shot 50.2% inside the arc. LSU is making 29.8 field goals per game, up 2.3 from last year s whole season average of LSU OUTSIDE THE ARC The Tigers made 10 treys last time out against UT Martin and has made 49 in six games (8.2 a game), up from last year when the Tigers made 6.3 a contest. But opponents, which made 8.9 a year ago, have made 9.3 in the first six games. LSU is shooting 36.6 percent from the arc, up from 33.6 percent a year ago. THE TIGERS DID WHAT AT THE LINE???? An LSU team that at times struggles at the line over the years, was on the mark against Samford (11/16), making 19-of-20 for the game, including 16-of-16 in the first half. LSU s lone miss came in the first half with 2:38 to play after LSU made its first three of the night. It marked the fourth time since for LSU to shoot at least 95% when attempting at least 20 FT s in a game: 11/16/2017 W, vs. Samford ; 19-of-20 FTs (95.0%) 2/21/2009 W, vs. Auburn 79-72; 21-of-22 FTs (95.5%) 2/2/2008 L, at Alabama 72-81; 21-of-22 FTs (95.5%) 2/4/1989 L, at Miss. State 79-96; 19-of-20 FTs (95.0%) In Maui, LSU was a strong 48-of-61 for the three games of 78.7%, and most of that came in the Marquette game (Nov. 22) when LSU was 23-of-26 at the line (88.5%). Despite, making just 12-of-20 against UT Martin, for the season, LSU is 95-of-125 at the line (76 percent). That is well ahead of the 69.6 percent that LSU shot at the line during the season. HELPING LSU S FG PERCENTAGE Helping the Tigers field goal percentage has been its ability to make layups and dunks in the first six games: LAYUPS Alcorn 10-14; Samford 14-17; Michigan 10-14; Notre Dame 9-18; Marquette 14-23; UTM Total layups percentage (68.9%) Dunks 12-of LSU MEN S BASKETBALL

TIGERS LOCAL CONNECTION This year s Tiger team has eight players from Louisiana six returnees in Brandon Sampson, Skylar Mays, Marshall Graves, Reed Vial, Aaron Epps and Wayde Sims; and, the two signees from Louisiana Brandon Rachal of Natchitoches and Galen Alexander of Breaux Bridge. ONWUASOR STARTS LAST TWO GAMES IN PLACE OF SAMPSON Graduate student Randy Onwuasor has started the last two games for the Tigers after the injury to Brandon Sampson, playing 34 minutes against Marquette in Maui and 12 minutes in the UT Martin win LSU MEN S BASKETBALL

7 In the two games combined, Onwuasor has played 46 minutes and made 7-of-14 shots with two rebounds, two assists and 18 points (13 vs. Marquette, 5 against UT Martin). The Southern Utah graduate led the Big Sky Conference in scoring a year ago at 23.6 minutes per game (fifth in the nation). EPPS CONTINUES TO GET HEATLHY After missing the first game of the year with a leg injury, Epps saw a limited 10 minutes of action in the Samford game (11/16), hitting 4-of-5 shots for eight points... He equaled the second highest scoring game of his career against Michigan in the first game in Maui (11/20) when he scored 14 points in 23 minutes on 6-of-7 shooting with two treys. Epps has also been part of the different lineups Coach Wade has used, starting both the Marquette and UT Martin games. He played 24 minutes against the Skyhawks in the last game, with six points and a season high eight rebounds. So far this year, Epps is averaging 6.6 points and 3.0 rebounds a game, hitting 14-of-28 field goal attempts. SKYLAR MAYS GOOD ON AND OFF THE FLOOR It all fits in doesn t it pre-med major; 4-plus GPA and starting guard on the team. Last year it was starting point guard for 25 of 31 games. This year it s still somewhat starting point guard because in Coach Wade s system, he believes in having two point-guard types out on the floor to smoothly run the offense through. So far the numbers are good as he is averaging 11.8 points per game, 3.7 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. Against UT Martin, Mays equaled his career high for field goals (6, fourth time) and three-pointers (4, second time). Mays has hit 22-of-47 field goal attempts (46.8% compared to 41.1% a year ago) and is 9-of-26 from the field. He hit his first 16 free throws and his 18-of-21 this season. SENIOR DUOP REATH Reath did not start against UTM but came off the bench to play 21 minutes with 15 points and his season high of nine rebounds. The rebound total is more in line with last year s average of 6.2 boards a game. This year in the first six games, he is averaging just 4.8 boards a contest. The senior has shot the ball well, however, with just one game (the first of the year) shooting under 50 percent. He is 26-of-43 for 60.5 percent, above last year when he made 51 percent and he is averaging the same points per game as last year at 12.0 a game.
