Texas Tech just served notice to the nation that they’re on another mission.
Without Ramsey, the Red Raiders outplayed the Cardinals from start to finish, something very few expected.
This speaks to Chris Beard’s wizardly ability, and the brand of basketball he has his teams play. Tech grinds, scraps, lays out, and out efforts everyone they face. No player embodies that more than Avery Benson.
Avery Benson is not Big 12-talented, but his effort and hustle have made him a player Beard trusts for extended minutes.
While his stats this game were solid (10 points, four rebounds, two blocks and a steal), his impact is the fire he brings to the team.
