His first year in Lubbock, Smith led the Red Raiders to a trio of wins over top 25 teams in a 14-18 season.
Last year, with one of the youngest rosters in the country, Texas Tech finished 13-19.
This season, Smith hopes to break through and finish in the upper half of the conference standings, despite being picked to finish last in the Preseason Big 12 poll.
