BATON ROUGE, La. — LSU is filling its men's basketball coaching vacancy with Murray State's Matt McMahon, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Monday.
The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the hiring, first reported by ESPN, has not been announced.
The hiring comes two days after Murray State's season ended with a loss to Saint Peter's in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
McMahon, 43, has coached Murray State for seven seasons, during which the Ohio Valley Conference school located in Murray, Kentucky, has had two first-round victories in the NCAA Tournament.
