Are you really this dumb, or do you just pretend to be for attention?

The self appointed post sanity police on TD. Post something he does not like and he will personally attack you. But he can spew whatever nonsense comes to his head!

One team is a 3 seed at one of the more consistent powers in college basketball

The other team was a 6 seed at a school that hasn’t had sustained success since the 80’s.

Let me know when you see the difference.

He averaged only 19.6 minutes per game at LSU even though he usually started. Maybe it was a conditioning issue?

I know he was a freshman but he was a disappointment when he was here.

A lot of people here recognized he shouldn't have been getting as many minutes here either. But other options weren't exactly plentiful.

He had no business playing as much as he did last year for LSU. Shareef outplayed him every game, but for some reason Wade was dead set on playing him. He contributed next to nothing and the only reason he didn’t play more minutes at LSU is because pretty much every game he was in bad foul trouble early in the game.

Agree 100%.

It was probably the one personnel move in Wade's tenure that seemed to make zero sense and he flat out refused to change it. It got to the point where you hoped he would just pick up his requisite 2 First half fouls as early as possible so Eason could get into the game and LSU could start playing 5 on 5.

Ried had fundamental post skill offensively. But it was sometimes robotic. You could tell he had not been playing basketball all that long because he had almost no natural feel for the game. That's why despite being a 7 footer he really struggled rebounding and blocking shots.

Because his teammates at Gonzaga have an Efton of talent and he is soft.

Shareef was banged up often, if he had stayed healthy he’d have played more . Efton had potential, a real soft touch for a big man but he just was physically abused against better competition.

He was overrated by an Efton.

He usually had two fouls before the 16:00 media timeout.

Impossible, WW is better than Coach K and had LSU ready to win multiple NC's

Oh ok so you're saying he's not good enough to play at his new school , which proves my point that Wade was not this great recruiter he was made out to be. He was a star gazer who couldn't evaluate talent,see Traore at auburn, And Devin Ree who couldn't see the floor for the worst team in Louisville history.
