Texas Southern was 17-8 a year ago, winning the SWAC Tournament and defeated Mount St. Mary’s, 60-52, in an NCAA First Four contest. In the 2020 season which was halted because of the coronavirus pandemic, the Tigers were 12-6 in SWAC play.

“We look forward to Brandon joining our staff at LSU,” said Coach Wade. “I have known Brandon for 12 years and have watched him rise through the coaching ranks with great success. He brings a wealth of knowledge of the game and will have a tremendous impact on our program.”

Chambers worked primarily with the guards and helped senior point guard Tyrik Armstrong earn 2020 All-SWAC first team honors. Senior guard Michael Weathers was named the 2021 SWAC Newcomer of the year.

During his stint at Nevada he served as director of operations working in conjunction with the coaching and supports staff to ensure that all team-related needs were met such as travel, recruiting, scheduling, video breakdown and game strategies. Nevada won three Mountain West regular-season titles with Chambers on staff and played in three NCAA tournaments. Read more.
