One of the most polarizing figures in college hoops is back in the NCAA Tournament, with the McNeese State Cowboys.
LAKE CHARLES, La. — At about 9 o’clock last Wednesday night, Will Wade, whose college coaching career theoretically ended two years ago, plopped down atop a stool at Mr. Bill’s Seafood Express, a joint that, like this town, theoretically ceased to exist three-and-half years ago. The place was packed. Tables covered in crawfish and shrimp. Foam cups filled with margaritas. A bunch of locals mixed among family members of the McNeese State Cowboys basketball team.
His top eight players this season include one holdover from last year’s McNeese roster, Shumate, who previously transferred from Tulsa, and seven newcomers who combined to play at 13 colleges. Shahada Wells, this year’s Southland Player of the Year, transferred in from TCU, after stops at UT Arlington and Tyler College. Javohn Garcia arrived from College of the Sequoias in California after two seasons at UMass.
