re: Will Wade needs serious questions asked to him

His defense has sucked for all three years at LSU. Feel free to do the Kenpom average. It’s worse than Jones’s six year average. Yet, everyone appears to be terrified to point it out.

It wasn’t a problem to call out Miles for his shitty offense. Or Maineri and his woes. But Wade is off-limits?

Agreed. Saying he's done a good job overall is obviously accurate. But hero-worship is another. Defense has been a huge blind spot. And frankly, his excuse about having bad matchups upsets me. I understand that we'd all like to have the perfect matchups. But, ya know, in life we tend to get mismatches thrown at us, and you just have to find a way around it.

Being average defensively, instead of being great, is understandable with limitations. Being awful, on the other hand, is not acceptable.
