Report: Travis Ford Bounces Back, Hired As New SLU Coach

St. Louis University has hired former Oklahoma State men's head basketball coach Travis Ford to fill the same position, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

After serving as OSU's head coach for eight seasons, Ford and the program decided to part ways when the Cowboys finished this past season with a 12-20 record and failed to qualify for the NCAA Tournament.

During his tenure at Oklahoma State, Ford recorded a 155-111 record and five NCAA Tournament appearances, only advancing past the first round once.

Ford played played one year at the University of Missouri in 1989-90 before transferring to Kentucky, so he has a connection to the state.
