re: LSU v McNeese Strength Of Schedule in men’s basketball

A lot of injuries during that stretch

Wade's teams could be fun to watch, but they could also be frustrating. That last season (2021-22) had some major downs, in particular losing 6 out of 7 games during mid season, punctuated by an ugly loss @ TCU, as well as an ugly first-round exit in the Tourney

They were ranked as high as like 12 before Pinson got injured late against Tennessee.

They were severely lacking PG depth. Had they had Adam Miller available to come off the bench while Pinson was battling injury they probably would have had a top 3 seed.


Had Fat boy Scott not fired Wade they would have had

Pinson
Miller
Mwani
Murray
Reid
Shareef
Gaines
Fudge

All back to go along with the top 10? 5? Class he had signed.

Would have been his most dangerous team yet from an athletic and versatility stand point

ETA: He had Julian Phillips (NBA) and Yohan Traore (14.5ppg at UCSB) signed.

A lineup of Gaines, Murray, Phillips, Fudge, and Traore would have been absolutely nasty in the 1-3-1 press.
