On March 26, LSU basketball is making a big change, parting ways with head coach madmick man after four seasons. Reports say they'll bring back Will Wade, who's leaving North Carolina state after just one year there. This move is pending McMahon's official firing. Wade had denied rumors about the LSU job earlier, but sources close to the situation now confirm he's heading back to Baden Rouge. He spent the past season at NC State, where the team bowed out in the first four of the NCAA tournament. Fans might remember Wade's first run at LSU from the 2017 through 2022 seasons. He took the Tigers to the big dance three times in four years, though the 2020 tournament got canceled due to COVID. His tenure ended amid NCAA violations tied to player payments, leading to sanctions and his dismissal. Before NC State, Wade bounced back strong at Magne State, making the NCAA tournament both years and even upsetting Clemson in the first round last season. Meanwhile,

McMahon struggled at LSU with a 60 wins to 70 losses record and no tournament appearances. This homecoming for Wade could shake up the SEC, especially with his track record of quick turnarounds despite the past drama. Keep an eye on how it all unfolds this off season.
