The Billikens fired Brad Soderberg after five seasons last week, a move tied to the school's new $80.5 million arena under construction and his failure to produce an NCAA tournament bid.
The school made Angres Thorpe as interim head men's basketball coach while it seeks a permanent replacement. Thorpe has been an assistant at Saint Louis since 2002 and was Soderberg's lead assistant in 2006-07.
Saint Louis was 20-13 last season, Soderberg's first 20-win season and the school's first 20-win season since 1997-98, and finished in the middle of the pack in the Atlantic-10 Conference. But the Billikens haven't made it to the NCAA tournament since 2000.
Soderberg produced NIT bids in his first two seasons at Saint Louis, but the team didn't make it to the postseason his final three seasons. He's 80-74 overall with a career record of 211-147 and was let go with two years remaining on a five-year contract he signed in November 2004.
The Billikens bottomed out with a 9-21 record in 2004-05, but rebounded with 16 wins the following season.
Saint Louis finished its season with a 60-40 loss to George Washington in the semifinals of the Atlantic-10 tournament semifinals. The Billikens will have four starters back next season, losing only senior center Ian Vouyoukas. Forward Tommie Liddell, who will be a junior, led the team with a 15.4-point average.
