Sources: Paul Lusk out at Missouri State after seven seasons

Missouri State has parted ways with Paul Lusk after seven seasons, sources told ESPN.

Lusk, 46, took over in 2011 when Cuonzo Martin left for Tennessee. He took the program to a CIT appearance in 2014, but was unable to get the Bears to the NCAA tournament. Missouri State was picked to win the Missouri Valley this past season, but the Bears finished 18-15 overall and were 7-11 in league play.

Lusk came to Missouri State after spending six seasons as an assistant at Purdue.
