Further evidence that Josh Schertz should be at the top of the list to become Syracuse's new coach if Red gets fired. In the Athletic's "Non-Conference Superlatives" column on Best, Most Surprising and Most Disappointing superlatives, they name his Saint Louis team as the Best Mid-Major so far this season. The guy is the real deal and is now proving his head coaching chops at his third school.

"If not for [a wild last second shot], Josh Schertz’s team would be undefeated entering Atlantic 10 play. As it is, Saint Louis (11-1) — which already owns top-100 wins over Santa Clara, Grand Canyon and San Francisco — has been the most dangerous two-way mid-major. The Billikens are top-11 nationally in effective field-goal percentage on offense and defense, per KenPom, and are an aesthetic treat as one of the country’s fastest teams. Robbie Avila, who [URL='https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5866905/2024/10/24/robbie-avila-saint-louis-basketball-goggles/']earned national recognition[/URL] with Schertz two seasons ago at Indiana State, is still doing his thing as a college Nikola Jokic, but he has plenty of help, as six different players average at least 9 points. At this rate, Saint Louis will have a convincing at-large NCAA Tournament case even if it doesn’t win the A-10 tournament."
