"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Saint Louis has hired Travis Ford as its head coach, the university announced.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Last week, Ford parted ways with Oklahoma State after eight seasons with the Cowboys. Ford compiled a 155\u2014111 record. He left the program with three years and $7.2M in guaranteed salary remaining on his contract.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Oklahoma State finished the season with a 12\u201320 record that includes a 3\u201315 finish against Big 12 conference opponents.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;SI experts make Final Four picks&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ford replaces&amp;nbsp;Jim Crews, who was fired after four seasons in which he compiled a 77\u201356 record.
