From everything I've read on their boards they felt used. Like a guy who hooked up with a chick and didn't call her back afterward.
It is a little weird, you would think they would be like aw shucks it was fun while it lasted but he's moving on to a power conference team and making $1M/yr more than he was here...but instead it's like F-HIM!!!!

ETA: I'm also glad I looked at the time to remember to set the DVR for the game.
I’m going to have to do the same. Hate that it’s a 5 o’clock game.

This is a pretty good early season matchup here.

So were they expecting a good coach to stay at VCU and not move on to a bigger program? seems to be a very naive way of thinking if so.
From their prospective I think they'd argue VCU IS (or at the point Wade left) was a better basketball program than LSU. When Wade left, VCU had been to the NCAAT seven straight years (and 8 of the last 9 years). To contrast, LSU had been to the NCAAT only ONE time during that 7 year stretch.
There is (generally) much more money and potential opportunity associated with a power conf. school. But I think we'd all agree that you can be a very, very good basketball program without necessarily being in a power conf (see Gonzaga, Wichita St., Villanova, Xavier, St. Mary's, just to name a few). Now (though I'm biased) I think LSU has the POTENTIAL to be a consistent powerhouse program and the resources to make that happen. But I can see their argument Wade left for a "lesser" job. Certainly you can argue none of the guys who left them for "bigger" jobs (Capel, Grant, Smart) have had exceptional success elsewhere.
If you put yourself in their shoes Wade was leaving a clearly good program for a "dead" program in LSU. The thought was why not stay here and try to build on the current success to one day maybe become the next Gonzaga vs. jumping ship to become the next Anthony Grant at Alabama

Two of biggest keys for LSU are to avoid live ball turnovers, especially against their press and to defensive rebound.
If we can prevent them from getting too many easy buckets off of turnovers and offensive rebounds, we should be in good shape.

When Will Wade sees VCU's shitty gymnasium that looks like it belongs in the Southland Conference, he will remind himself that the Maravich Assembly Center as a vast improvement.

Don't forget the vcu fans that came to tigerrant that said will Wade won't come to LSU.

Absolutely. There is no reason we can’t be what Florida was under Billy Donovan.

Our ball handling has been average against Bowling green. We couldn't take care of the ball on the rebounds and looked nervous.I expected that from freshman. Hopefully the jitters are gone and we handle the ball better.
Emmitt and Day are going to be key
