Chris Beard is fond of saying that everyone in his program is a “truth-teller”. He walked that walk Tuesday night after his team played without intensity and urgency for long stretches of a 69-61 victory over Oklahoma in Lubbock.
It was a critical win because it moved the Red Raiders to 5-4 in Big 12 play as they head to the second half of the conference schedule. But while Beard wasn’t going to turn his nose up at any conference win, he also made certain to drop some truth bombs immediately after the game as he called out his team in a way that we haven’t seen all that often during his four seasons on the job.
