Tiger Basketball Players Go Shopping With Local Youth

BATON ROUGE -- The LSU Basketball team enjoyed its annual Christmas shopping spree with a group of youngsters from the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Baton Rouge on Monday, as Will Wade and the Tigers shopped their way around a local store.

It's good for our players," said Coach Wade. "Our players enjoy it as much as the kids getting the gifts. It's a good way for our program and our players to give back to the community."

It's an annual tradition for Wade that dates back to his days at Clemson working under head coach Oliver Purnell, and it's the third such event since taking over at LSU.
