LSU beat writer discusses coach Will Wade, Tigers keys vs. Gonzaga | Q&A
Q: Guessing this isn't the first or last time you'll be asked this: What is it like covering LSU coach Will Wade as a beat writer?
Key points
- We connected with Toyloy Brown III, who covers LSU for The Advocate newspaper based in Baton Rouge, for a closer look at the Tigers.
- You never know when he'll joke that NIL stands for "now it's legal." The only not-so-fun part of covering Wade was the mystery of who is or will be on the team and when or if they'll be eligible.
- Gonzaga, which faces LSU on Saturday at the Spokane Arena, checks in at No.
Q: At one point in late September, LSU's official roster listed just four players, but coach Will Wade remained optimistic throughout that the roster would eventually take shape.
Q: What are a couple of keys for LSU to be successful against Gonzaga?
Additional details
- The Tigers have the size to do better, but they're relying on French center Brice Dessert, who is still adjusting to the pace of the American game.
- While LSU can be an elite two-point scoring squad, it will be tough to win against strong opponents if Clark and Bashir are missing.
- LSU has averaged 94 points per game with a 41.3-point margin of victory in blowouts over three overmatched opponents.
- Now that the roster is largely set, highlight a player or two that will be crucial to the Tigers' season.
- The talented Tigers might remain in the spotlight during the season as a force in the SEC and beyond.
