Upstream Thinking - a podcast by LSU

Despite his team winning 20 games, qualifying for the NCAA Tournament, and finishing second in the SEC in 2019-20, Will Wade opted for an offseason overhaul before 2020-21.

Some frank conversations with players like Javonte Smart, Darius Days, and Trendon Watford made Wade realize the Tigers had to reorganize the program. On the court, Wade took more control. Off the court, his players took more control.

The result is a coach and a team as confident as they've ever been heading into Thursday's season opener against SIU-Edwardsville and Saturday's tipoff against Saint Louis. 

Hear from Will Wade, Javonte Smart, and Trendon Watford ahead of a season full of as much potential as any in recent years for the Tigers.
