Will Wade knows how high expectations are for LSU Basketball heading into his second year.
With a returning core of proven players with postseason experience and an incoming recruiting class ranked as high as No. 3 in the nation, observers around the country are picking the Tigers in numerous top-25 polls and way-too-early NCAA Tournament brackets.
"I think expectations are good," Wade told the media at his first press conference of the season Monday. "Our expectations internally are going to be much higher.
"But that doesn't matter. You've got to earn it."
Wade spoke with the media for a half-hour, addressing everything from his talented crop of freshmen, his improved vets, and his thoughts on the season ahead.
