Chris Beard Texas Tech Set Plays

Chris Beard knows that Selection Sunday is about a month off, but there is a lot of basketball still out there for a lot of college teams. Texas Tech needs to get some big wins for their Selection Sunday resume. They are 16-8 and 4-7 in conference with an RPI of 87. They aren’t in the ESPN bracket projections, and Joe Lunardi has them being the first four out.

Today’s game with Kansas could supercharge their RPI and get some people’s attention if they can pull off the win at home. They are down second right now in the second half.

Texas Tech has number three Kansas right now and number six Baylor on Monday in Lubbock. Those games would put them up in the NCAA Tournament.

Coach Beard told his guys that they have a tremendous opportunity in front of them and how a great run right here would be excellent. If they can pull one big win or both of them, then Tech’s four losses in the last six games would go away. They still control their future.

Tubby Smith put Texas Tech in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since Bob Knight was the Head coach in Lubbock. Beard who is a former Bob Knight assistant coach has one of the most experienced teams in college basketball.

Most of the ESPN talking heads think that Texas Tech isn’t as good as their record. The Red Raiders played an easy non-conference schedule, but, they don’t know Chris Beard. I have seen his teams come back for late season runs at the JUCO, NCAA D2, and NCAA D1 levels. The man can coach some basketball.
