ST. LOUIS (AP) — Josh Schertz has been hired as coach at Saint Louis after he led Indiana State to its first 30-win season in 45 years, the Missouri Valley regular-season title and the NIT championship game, the Billikens announced Saturday.

Schertz replaces Travis Ford, who was fired three weeks ago. The Billikens were 13-20 overall and 5-13 in the Atlantic 10 and last played in the NCAA Tournament in 2019.

Indiana State, which lost 79-77 to Seton Hall in the NIT championship game on Thursday, finished 32-7 and was among the first teams left out of the NCAA Tournament.

The Sycamores were the No. 1 seed in the NIT and drew a national following drawn in by the paunchy goggles-wearing leading scorer Robbie Avila, nicknamed “Cream Abdul-Jabbar.”
