BROOKINGS, S.D. (AP) South Dakota State has hired T.J. Otzelberger as its new men's basketball coach.

Assistant athletic director Jason Hove confirmed to The Associated Press that Otzelberger will replace longtime coach Scott Nagy, who took the job at Wright State after leading the Jackrabbits to the NCAA Tournament three of the past five years.

Otzelberger, a top assistant at Iowa State, was being introduced during a news conference Thursday.

Nagy led the Jackrabbits this season to a 26-8 record and a Summit League Tournament championship. South Dakota State lost to Maryland 79-74 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
