Texas Tech basketball: Examining whether Kyler Edwards has improved this year

They say that the greatest jump any college athlete makes, regardless of the sport, comes in his sophomore season thanks to a year of experience and all those extra months in the weight room. That’s why so many expected Kyler Edwards to be a star this season.

The Arlington, Texas native had a promising freshman year that saw him average 5.5 points off the bench last year. He was especially solid towards the end of the year when he gave Tech his best basketball of the season during the NCAA Tournament.

That included 12 big points, his second-most in a game last year, against Virginia in the National Title game.
