"Wade said forward Duop Reath, who’s come off the bench the past four games, will be back in the lineup in place of Wayde Sims, while guard Daryl Edwards, who has started just once this season, “tentatively” will get the nod at the three-spot for Randy Onwuasor.

Wade indicated that Edwards’ opportunity to step in for Onwuasor, who has made five consecutive starts for an injured Brandon Sampson, will be dependent on Monday afternoon’s practice.

Guards Tremont Waters and Skylar Mays will be in the lineup, as usual, along with forward Aaron Epps.

“We’re going to change our rotations. … I always say, ‘You produce, or we reduce your minutes,’ ” Wade said. “There are some guys we’ve been playing that are not producing. So, it’s not good.”"

No cheer here: LSU's Will Wade unhappy with stunning loss; here's what he's doing about it

the idea that sfa "upset" lsu and that this loss is "stunning" are ridiculous. sfa was ahead of lsu in rpi, had a better record, made the tourney and are predicted to win their conference. meanwhile lsu barely had a roster a few months ago. oh, and there was a complete coaching change.

I think it is the way we loss that was so stunning. We never should have been in the situation to make a last second shot after the leads we had. And missing a last second layup after getting a perfect look at the basket.

I agree the fanbase largely undervalued the SFA team and expected an easy victory.

It should be an upset to the team and burn their arse up

It wasn't an upset to me, but Wade is setting culture

Exactly. Nice to see people living and dying with some of the results but this year is all about the foundation.

FOundation and a return to playing competitive basketball. He's trying to rebuild the fanbase as well. Being competitive in games and playing with passion is essential to get the fans interested again..

It's about time for Sims to ride the pine. Zero effort.

Sims seems to have more energy coming off the bench. We will still need his minutes, just need them to be more productive, especially defensively.

Agreed. Just because it's a smaller school doesn't make it an upset. Let's be real here, they have more tourney wins than us in the past decade. I do like how Wade is setting a time though.

Can't wait to see Williams, Ried, Smart & Days added to this team with what will be coming back.

Better late than never.

Aramark Boy totally wasted eight years with Johnson & Jones.

He could've hired Tony Bennett easy and cheap when he was still at Washington State after Brady was fired. The program would be built and flying high now, but we're just now getting it going with a competent HC.

Nunez found WW.

(Just more evidence in the case for negligence against JA)

I am already extremely pleased, but I would like to see Mayan Kirr get on the floor more. baw is a raw freak, might as well have growing pains while we're rebuilding

Is SFA a good team? Absolutely. Ranking and statistically, not an upset, but if you truly believe LSU to be an up and coming, storied program then you call it an upset from a pride perspective.

What was the spread for the game and who was favored. Houston was favored over LSU, I do not think SFA was.

LSU was an 8 point favorite over SFA.
