In just three years, Texas Tech basketball head coach Chris Beard has built one of the nation’s best programs. That fact was validated Saturday as the Red Raiders captured a share of the Big 12 regular season title by knocking off Iowa State in Ames 80-73.
If there is any disappointment in this accomplishment, it may be that the title is shared with Kansas State, which beat Oklahoma at home on Saturday evening. But while both teams will revel in their accomplishments, you must excuse Texas Tech fans if we are not more impressed with our team’s path to the title than we are with KSU’s.
