After leaving Saturday’s game at Texas midway through the first half with an eye injury, Texas Tech forward Matt Temple is OK, Red Raiders coach Tubby Smith said Monday.

The 6-foot-10 junior was elbowed in the eye.

“There’s no damage to his retina or to the structure of his eye,” Smith said on the Big 12 teleconference. “It’s a bad bruise. ... I don’t think he’ll work out (Monday). He was at our lift this morning. He should be fine.”
