East Tennessee State Head Coach and former Wichita State Assistant Coach Steve Forbes clinched an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament on Monday as his team defeated Wofford in the championship game of SoCon Tournament.
Since leaving WSU in 2015, Forbes has put together quite the resume during his time at ETSU. In five seasons at the helm, Forbes has already surpassed the 100-win mark, and this will be his second trip to the NCAA Tournament with the Buccaneers.
Wichita State Head Coach Gregg Marshall said he has stayed in touch with his former assistant, even texting Forbes prior to the championship game.
