Will Wade met with reporters on Wednesday afternoon in advance of McNeese’s opening-round game against Clemson in the NCAA Tournament on Thursday.
Wade was asked to comment on rumors that he’s being pursued by NC State for its head coaching vacancy. While most coaches historically have declined to answer such a question in advance of a big game, Wade took a more transparent approach.
Wade confirmed that he’s been in communication with the Wolfpack and said he’s addressed it with his team as well.
