FAYETTEVILLE -- LSU Coach Will Wade had a stern message for his team after East Tennessee State -- coached by Southern Arkansas University graduate Steve Forbes -- came into the Maravich Assembly Center and beat the Tigers 74-63 on Dec. 18.
East Tennessee State is 13-3 and favored to win the Southern Conference, but the Buccaneers led LSU by as many as 23 points in stunning the defending SEC champion Tigers on their home court.
"This has major implications," Wade said in his postgame news conference.
