Will Wade Head Coach @wwadelsu 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, 2017. 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 2017-18 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 51-20 record and two NCAA Tournament appearances the last two seasons. The 2016 Rams advanced to the second round of the tournament, defeating seventh-seed Oregon State before losing to Oklahoma. Wade was the youngest head coach in the NCAA Tournament in 2016. In 2017, VCU lost to St. Mary s in the first round of the 2017 tourney. The Rams were 28-8 over his two years in the Atlantic 10 Conference, posting 14-4 records both years. The team was 25-11 in 2016 and earned a share of the Atlantic 10 Conference regular season crown. The 2017 team won 26 games and finished second in the league, one-game behind Dayton. Under his tutelage, guard Melvin Johnson earned First Team All-Atlantic 10 honors in 2015-16 while Je Quan Lewis represented VCU on the 2016-17 first team. Mo Alie-Cox was named to the A-10 Defensive Team in both 2016 and 2017. Wade, age 34, previously served at VCU as an assistant with the Rams under Shaka Smart from 2009-13. VCU was 113-37 during that time, reached three NCAA Tournament and won the 2012 Colonial Athletic Association Championship. 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. Prior to becoming the head coach at VCU, Wade served as the head coach at Chattanooga for the 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons. His first Mocs squad went 18-15 in 2014, finishing 12-6 and second in regular season Southern Conference play. The 18 wins overall were the most by the program since 2008-09 and the 12 wins in league games was the highest total since 2010-11. The team made the school s first postseason appearance since 2009 in the CIT. Wade was honored with the Anton Foy Southern Conference Coach of the Year award for his efforts in 2014. Also that year, Z. Mason became the first Chattanooga student-athlete to win the conference s Defensive Player of the Year award. The Mocs won 22 games in 2015 and finished 15-3 in the league as Wade guided Chattanooga to its first 20-win season since 2004-05. He finished his two seasons there at 40-25 and 27-7 in league play. In the two seasons prior to his arrival, Chattanooga was 24-40 overall and 13-23 in SoCon play. In his four years as a head coach, he has a combined record at Chattanooga and VCU of 91-45 and THE WADE RECORD 55-15 in conference play with three post-season appearances. Wade s reputation, where ever he has coached, is a person who is a tireless worker and relentless recruiter. Wade was VCU Head Coach Shaka Smart s first hire upon being named the head VCU coach in 2009. That reputation was cemented prior to his arrival on the VCU campus. He served as an assistant to Tommy Amaker at Harvard in 2007-08 and 2008-09. 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 2001-02. Wade had a hand in the development of future NBA standout Jeremy Lin and assembled a top 25 recruiting class during his stay. Wade s coaching start came at Clemson where he served as Director of Basketball Operations (2006-07) and Graduate Assistant (2005-06) after four seasons as a student manager (2002-05). There he worked for coaches Larry Shyatt (2002-03) and Oliver Purnell (2004-07). In eight years on coaching staffs at Clemson, Harvard and VCU, the teams had a record of 177-97 with six postseason appearances (2005-13). Wade is married to the former Lauren Deason, and the couple has one daughter, Caroline Elizabeth. /----OVERALL---/ THE WADE FILE Birthdate: Nov. 26, 1982 Age: 35 Hometown: Nashville, Tennessee High School: Franklin Road Academy College: Clemson, 2005 Wife: Lauren Deason Child: Caroline Elizabeth COACHING EXPERIENCE 2005-06 - Clemson, Graduate Assistant 2006-07 - Clemson, Director of Operations 2007-09 - Harvard, Assistant Coach 2009-13 - VCU, Assistant Coach 2013-15 -UT-Chattanooga, Head Coach 2015-17 - VCU, Head Coach March 22, 2017 - LSU, Head Coach /---CONF.---/ YEAR SCHOOL W-L PCT.

THE NUMBERS GAME Here are some of the important numbers with the LSU basketball program: 55-11 Record when holding opponent to 70 points or less since start of 2012-13 season. 69-25 Record since start of 2012-13 season when out rebounding opponent. 58 Wins since start of 1980-81 when LSU was down by 5 or more points at halftime. 44-5 Number of times since 2012-13 LSU has shot 50 percent or more in a game and won. 22 Number of head coaches in LSU basketball history including new coach Will Wade. 1976 -- Last time a freshman scored more on opening night than Tremont Waters. 16 -- LSU rank in nation in 2-point % (56.5%)... Last season 50.2% 29 -- Ranking nationally in overall FG percentage, 48.1% (45 percent last year) 5 -- No. of turnovers vs. UGA 1/16; equals fewest in a game at LSU (11 times). 78-0 -- Record since 1966-67 when LSU has a 20+ point lead at halftime. 71 -- Number of consecutive wins when up 15 or more at halftime, dating back to 1999. 1.239 -- Positive assist-to-turnover ratio; LSU was 0.878 last year. 7 -- Consecutive double figure scoring games for senior Duop Reath 2 -- Number of games this season Tremont Waters had game with 15+ pts, 5+ rebs, 5+ asts, 5+ stls LAST TIME OUT TENNESSEE 84, LSU 61 -- KNOXVILLE -- JAN. 31, 2018 A short-handed LSU team was able to stay with Tennessee for almost 30 minutes before giving way in the final 10 minutes as the nationally-ranked Vols got the victory. For the Tigers it was a second straight road loss against a nationally-ranked squad. With the Tigers down to nine players (seven scholarship players) after Coach Wade s Monday announcement regarding four players, LSU was down 42-31 at the intermission of the game at Thompson-Boling Arena. In the second half, LSU was able to cut the lead to seven, six and seven points, the last at 56-49 with 10:24 to play. But from there Tennessee was able to take control of the game and build the lead to the final margin. Duop Reath, the senior forward, continued his outstanding play of late with another 20-point game, this time 21 points, while grad student Randy Onwuasor added 10 points. LSU shot just 39.3 percent from the floor and had its fewest three-point makes of the year with three. It marked the fourth time in the last seven SEC games that LSU has made either three or just four treys in a game. Tennessee shot 54.1 percent overall and made 12 treys. LSU s only specialty stat that went strongly its way was points off turnovers as LSU had 19-8 advantage in scoring off Tennessee s 14 turnovers. DON T LET A RECORD FOOL YOU Some of these numbers will be discussed more, but there is a difference and an improvement in LSU 2017-18 LSU MEN S BASKETBALL

The Tigers are having to learn 1) what to do with a lead; 2) what they must do to stop opponent s runs; and 3) what are the options that can get their back in the game. In four league losses, the Tigers were no more than eight points back at the end. Not counting LSU s two league wins a year ago, LSU had only five total games in which the final margin was eight or less and only one game of less than three. Here s the inside of LSU s four losses that could have turned around: Kentucky L, 74-71 LSU up 7, 19:39 to play; two shots to tie in final seven seconds.

LSU AND THE QUADRANT WINS The Tigers have five wins over teams in the top 50 RPI (Arkansas, A&M twice, Michigan and Houston) and six wins in the top two quadrants of NCAA ranking sheets: LSU is 4-3 against teams in Quadrant 1 with the wins at Arkansas, A&M both home and away and Michigan in Maui. LSU has a 2-5 mark against teams in Quadrant 2 which is Houston and at Memphis. LSU is 3-3 on the road with all the games against teams in the top two quadrants. LSU enters the weekend with a team RPI of 82. WILL WADE The graduate of Franklin Road Academy, who served as a student manager for the basketball team, returned to his hometown last Saturday at Memorial Gym against Vanderbilt. Already this season, his fifth as a head coach, Coach Wade has won his 100th career game.

LSU is continuing to try to improve its field goal percentage defense which is No. 13 in the league at 44.5 percent. However, on the plus side, last year opponents shot over 47 percent against the Tigers. LSU has now won eight straight games when shooting over 50 percent, dating back to last season. The Tigers are shooting 43.5 percent in conference games overall. LSU INSIDE THE ARC For much of the non-conference season, LSU was 60 percent or better shooting from inside the arc, but LSU is now at 56.5 percent, No. 16 in the country according to TeamRankings.com. LSU s present total is way up from last season when LSU shot 50.2% inside the arc. LSU STRUGGLING AT THE ARC LSU at one time was on pace to break the school record mark of 234 threes in a season, set during the 2012-13 campaign. But the Tigers have struggled from the arc in three of the last four games going 4-of-19 at Vandy, 4-of-18 at Auburn and 3-of-19 at Tennessee. LSU made 8-of-18 in its last win at home against Texas A&M. Ironically, the last time LSU faced Arkansas in Fayetteville, LSU made just 4-of-18 treys but came away with the win. While a lot of these program games have been on the road, in LSU s first two road games of the season, 2017-18 LSU MEN S BASKETBALL

The 13 treys against Memphis tied the fourth most three-pointers LSU has made in a single game and the 11th time LSU has made 13 or more three-pointers in a single game: 17 vs. Vanderbilt 12/29/16 17 at Tennessee 3/1/03 16 vs. Auburn 2/26/03 13 eight times (Last: at Memphis 12/29/17 LSU has now made 160 treys and is averaging 7.6 treys a game. That is up from when the Tigers made 6.3 a contest. NUMBERS LAST 5 GAMES When it comes to stats over the last five games, Duop Reath is dominating the number for LSU, averaging 20.6 points a game. He has made 43-of-74 field goals, including four treys and 13-of-24 free throws. He is also averaging 6.4 rebounds. He is the only LSU player over the last five games averaging double figures. LSU, 1-4 in the last five, has averaged 67.8 points compared to 76.4 for opponents. LSU has been outrebounded 39.6-29.6. REATH SEVEN STRAIGHT IN DOUBLE FIGURES The senior from Australia has been playing well of late first as evidence by his 31-point, 13-rebound effort at Vandy (Jan. 20), his second double-double against SEC competition this year. Against the Commodores, he made 13-of-20 field goals, including a trey to go with three blocks. The key was following it up with an aggressive effort against A&M and he did, making 9-of-14 field goals with a trey and eight rebounds. There was nothing shabby about his performance against Auburn on Saturday as he posted 18 points on 7-of-12 shooting with four free throws. Reath is now averaging 14.4 points per game overall and a team leading 17.7 points in SEC games (sixth in the league in conference games). Reath since the start of conference play has raised his scoring average from 11.9 a game to 14.4 Reath is on a string of seven double figure scoring games (11-12-12-31-21-18-21). The native of South Sudan, who grew up in Australia scored 30 previously in the UNCW game when he made 13-of-17 field goals with a trey; and, 24 points and 11 rebounds in the Kentucky game earlier this month when he was 11-of-17 from the field with two treys. Reath earned SEC Player of the Week honors for the second time while at LSU after his big game versus UNCW in December. Reath is 123-of-215 for the year from the field (57.2%) and that leads the SEC in FG percentage His 54.1 shooting percentage in the conference games is second in the league. THE OPPONENT ARKANSAS The Razorbacks and Tigers meet for the second time this year and both teams are coming in off losses with Arkansas falling at Texas A&M on Tuesday, 80-66. That stopped a three-game win streak in which the Razorbacks had won against Ole Miss, at Georgia and over Oklahoma State in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge. In the first meeting with Arkansas in Fayetteville on Jan. 10, LSU was able to get out in the first half and open up a 41-21 halftime lead en route to a 75-54 victory. LSU shot 52.7 percent overall despite making just 4-of-18 three pointers. Ironically, Arkansas made just 4-of-18 treys as well in a night they made just 19-of-57 total shots. Aaron Epps led LSU with 13 points and 11 rebounds, while Skylar Mays and Randy Onwuasor each had 12 points and Duop Reath 11. Tremont Waters had eight points with eight assists. Jaylen Barford was the only Arkansas player in double figures with 17 points. LSU had a 44-26 advantage in the paint and 15-6 in points off turnovers. Arkansas continues to lead the series, 35-29, with the LSU win stopping a three-game run by the Razorbacks. LSU leads the series, 16-11, in Baton Rouge and LSU has won nine-of-the-last-15 contests. WATERS FLIRTS WITH UNIQUE TRIPLE DOUBLE; SECOND 4X5 Waters, who three times has posted a double double (twice points-assists, once points-rebounds) flirted with a unique triple double of points, assists and steals against Texas A&M. Waters had 15 points, 9 assists and 8 steals. Throw in five rebounds and for the second time this season Waters had the 4x5 for the second time this season (last time versus Alcorn State in the opener). Three players, according to sports-reference.com, have had multiple 4x5 games this season: Jevon Carter, West Virginia, 3 Tremont Waters, LSU, 2 Brian Beard, Jr., Florida International, 2 WATERS EARNS SECOND SEC FRESHMAN OF THE WEEK HONOR For Tremont Waters, the play at the end of the first Texas A&M game certainly helped him earn his second SEC Freshman of the Week honor in a season that has already seen him three times get recognition on SportsCenter s Plays of the Day. The 5-11, 167-pounder averaged 19.5 points, eight rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.5 steals against 17thranked Kentucky and at No. 11 Texas A&M. Waters made two treys from 30-plus feet in the final 12 seconds to beat Texas A&M Saturday in College Station. Overall, Waters is averaging a team best 14.8 points a game, 3.5 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 2.2 steals. He is second in the league in assists and first in steals. Waters first earned FOW honors after his opening game in which he scored 27 points, the most by a freshman in an opening game since 1976. TREMONT WATERS THREE DOUBLE FIGURE ASSIST GAMES THIS YEAR LSU freshman Tremont Waters has posted 10 assists on three occasions this season, vs. UT Martin 2017-18 LSU MEN S BASKETBALL

(11/29), UNCW (12/10) and UNF (12/22). Here is the list of those with double figure assists games for LSU since the start of the 2002-03 season: 11 Skylar Mays, vs. Houston, 11/29/2016 10 Tremont Waters, vs. UNF, 12/22/2017 10 Tremont Waters, vs. UNCW, 12/10/2017 10 Tremont Waters, vs. UT Martin, 11/29/2017 10 Ben Simmons, vs. NC State, 11/24/2015 10 Charles Carmouche, at Marquette, 12/22/2012 10 Garrett Temple, vs. Troy, 11/30/2008 10 Tack Minor, vs. UNO, 11/24/2004 10 Tack Minor, vs. Ohio State, 1/15/2005 While Tack Minor had 10 assists in the same 2004-05 season, Waters becomes the first player to go backto-back double figure assists since Randy Livingston as a redshirt freshman had three straight games of double figure assists in the 1994-95 season 12 vs. Georgia State, 12 vs. Md-Baltimore and 11 vs. Florida This was the second of two set of three consecutive games in double figure assists that Livingston had that season. Against Kentucky (1/3), Waters had another double double but it was points and rebounds with 18 points and 11 rebounds. FREE THROWS Earlier in the year, LSU 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 1966-67 for LSU to shoot at least 95% when attempting at least 20 FT s in a game: 11/16/2017 W, vs. Samford 105-86; 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%) After nine games, LSU was at an incredible 78.4 percent at the line, but now LSU is still at a good 74 percent (288-389), fifth in the league. That is still way ahead of the 69.6 percent that LSU shot at the line during the 2016-17 season. In the SEC games, LSU is 109-of-149, or 73.2 percent. Presently, LSU s 74 percent at the line would rank fourth best in LSU stat history: 1988-89 77.0% 1985-86 75.0% 2007-08 74.1% 2017-18 74.0% 1963-64 73.7% 2004-05 73.0% ABOVE 20 ASSISTS For the third time this year, LSU was over 20 assists in the UNF game (12/22), this time recording 26 assists for the 43 buckets it made. LSU had 29 assists in the Samford win in November and 22 assists in the win over UT-Martin, also in November. LSU has had five games of 30 assists or more, the last coming in December 2002. LSU is averaging 14.3 assists per game, sixth in the league. 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 10.9 points per game, 4.0 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. Mays has had 13 games in double figure scoring, including 12-of-the-last-17 games. Mays has posted at least five assists in 13 games in his career, six this season, including this past Saturday at Auburn. For the season, Mays is 25-of-78 from three-point range (32.1 percent). He has been a consistently good force from the free throw line, making 52-of-61 for the season (85.2%). MAYS 19 SHY OF JOINING SCHOOL S 200 ASSIST CLUB Skylar Mays enters the game with 181 career assists, 19 shy of becoming the 33rd player in LSU history to have 200 career assists. Jalyn Patterson joined the group last season. Kenny Higgs is the all-time school leader with 645. EPPS POSTS THIRD DOUBLE DOUBLE AT ARKANSAS The four-year senior is working hard to make his final year a good one as he is an example of how much returning players have improved under the tutelage of Coach Wade. Epps had his third double double of the season at Arkansas (1/10) with 13 points and 11 rebounds. In December, it was back-to-back double doubles for the Ball, Louisiana native. After a 26 point, 16 rebounds game against Houston on Dec. 10, Epps came back with another double double of 16 points and 10 rebounds against SFA on Dec. 13. In the two games, Epps scored 42 points and had 26 rebounds. He played 59 minutes, made 13-of-24 field goals, 4-of-8 3 FGs and 12-of-13 free throws. His night of 26 points and 16 rebounds marked just the third time since the start of the 2010-11 season, according to sports-reference.com, that an LSU player has had 25 points or more and 15 or more rebounds in a single game. Epps is also the only one of the three to be on a winning side in their game. SCORING BREAKDOWNS CLASS PTS PCT.

Against Kentucky the senior posted 13 points on 6-of-11 shooting, including one trey. At A&M, he was 4-of-7 from the field with three of those three-pointers for 11 points with eight rebounds. Versus Alabama on he had 14 points and had 12 in the A&M game Tuesday. He is averaging 9.6 points per game and a team best 5.9 rebounds overall. Epps has made 73-of-137 field goals for 53.3 percent with 22 treys. In the SEC games, he is averaging 9.1 points. JC TRANSFER DARYL EDWARDS Daryl Edwards is beginning to find his niche in the LSU system after only playing about a third of the time in the three games of the Maui Invitational. But from there his minutes increased and he has started eighth total games for LSU. He has also been in double figures in five games, including 15 against UT Martin (11/29) and the three games prior to Christmas versus Stephen F. Austin (10), Sam Houston (11) and 10 vs. UNF. At A&M, Edwards had eight points, hitting 3-of-6 shots, including a trey. He was back in double figures off the bench against Texas A&M in Baton Rouge, hitting 3-of-4 field goals, including two treys, and 4-of-4 at the line for 12 points in 22 minutes. The junior college transfer is averaging 6.0 points a contest. He has made 23 treys and is 18-of-20 at the free throw line for the year. BRANDON SAMPSON His junior season started so well until the first minute of the fourth game, the semifinals of the Maui Invitational when he severely sprained his left ankle (Nov. 22). He missed the next six games and began coming off the bench with his best game at Memphis when he scored 12 points with three treys. He started the SEC play 0-of-9 from the arc, but was returned to the starting lineup for the game against Georgia (1/16). He scored a team-high 17 points, making 6-of-11 field goals, including 3-of-5 treys and both free throws. Now it becomes a case of consistency in game play to put back-to-back double figure games together. He was unable to do that against Vandy, but did have nine with a couple of treys against A&M. Sampson has played 15 games this season with six starts, averaging 7.3 points. RANDY ONWUASOR Grad student Randy Onwuasor got the nod for the first five games that Brandon Sampson was out before coming off the bench for several games until the past three games when he has returned to the starting lineup. Onwuasor was on his game in the Arkansas win (1/10), hitting 4-of-6 field goals and all four free throw attempts. At Auburn, Onwuasor had his LSU high of 14 points, hitting 4-of-6 field goals, including both three-point attempts and all four free throws. He also had two assists, three steals and no turnovers. He had 13 versus Marquette in Maui and 13 against Sam Houston State. He had 10 at Tennessee Wednesday giving him his first back-to-back double figure games for the Tigers. At this point in the season, Onwuasor is averaging 5.2 points per game and 2.1 rebounds. He is 37-of-79 from the field, making seven treys and 23-of-27 from the free throw line. BRANDON RACHAL OFF THE BENCH Brandon Rachal of Natchitoches-Central High in Natchitoches has been looking for playing time with Rachal getting the bulk of the time of the freshmen outside of Waters. Rachal has played in 19 games with a 15.8 minute per game average. He is posting at 4.3 points per game and 2.7 rebounds a game. WAYDE SIMS GETS FIRST COLLEGE DOUBLE DOUBLE Wayde Sims, the sophomore son of former LSU men s basketball player Wayne Sims, recorded his first college double up December 19 in a 20-minute stunt off the bench against Sam Houston. Sims had 10 points and 10 rebounds to go with a career best three blocks. It was his fourth double figure scoring game this year and the second double figure rebound game at LSU. Sims is averaging 5.7 points and 3.0 rebounds. He has started eight games and played an average of 17.5 minutes. OVERFLOW CROWD WITNESSES ALABAMA CONTEST For the 10th time since the renovation and reconfiguration of the Maravich Center that put the capacity at 13,215, an overflow crowd was on hand for the LSU-Alabama game (1/13).
