Missouri State introduced Dana Ford as its new men's basketball coach Thursday morning at the Prime Overtime Club at JQH Arena.

In a press conference, Athletic Director Kyle Moats told attendees that he was excited about the new hire.

"We're getting a young, ambitious, up-and-coming and highly respected man to lead our men's basketball program."

MSU President Clif Smart said he didn't think the search committee could have found a better fit for the program.
