Will Wade will have a slightly awkward day in March Madness Thursday.
The McNeese head coach aims at a disturbance against Clemson, his own Alma Mater, when the ball tips at 15.15 in Providence, Rhode Island.
To make things even more scared, several reports have said that Wade has already reached an agreement to become NC State’s main coach at the end of the tournament.

Wade admitted earlier this week he had been in contact with Wolfpack and simply answered “yes” when asked.
Wade, 42, said he has always tried to be transparent with both his assistants and players during this time of year.
“Just tell it as it is,” Wade said. “You may not always like it, I will say, but I will tell you what I think. I have always been like that and it is not necessary to hide it. The guys read it on social media. It’s no secret. It out.”

NC State fired coach Kevin Keatts on March 9, a sudden end of an eight-year period that saw the fall of the program this year, which turned out to be too much to overcome even when framed against last season’s remarkable finish. The message came a day after Wolfpack closed a 12-19 season and could even qualify for the ACC tournament as the reigning champion.
