Saint Louis is hiring Indiana State’s Josh Schertz as its men’s basketball coach, multiple outlets reported Friday.

Schertz’s Sycamores fell 79-77 to Seton Hall in the NIT championship game Thursday, a matchup of No. 1 seeds. Seton Hall went on a 9-0 run in the final 2:50 to win.

After the game, Schertz, 48, said he would have a decision about his future very soon.

“It’s been a great run and I don’t want to leave anybody twisting in the wind any more than they have been,” Schertz said.

Indiana State finished the season 32-7 (17-3 Missouri Valley Conference).

Saint Louis has been seeking a replacement for Travis Ford, who was fired March 13 after eight seasons and a 146-109 record.

The Billikens finished 13-20 (5-13 Atlantic 10) in the 2023-24 season.

In three seasons as the head coach of Indiana State, Schertz had a 66-40 record and was named the conference’s Coach of the Year last month.
