Tuesday night’s 65-54 loss to TCU was yet another frustrating game for Texas Tech basketball fans because once again, the Red Raiders were thoroughly dominated in the post. That has left a significant portion of the fan base wondering just why this year’s team is so undersized.
Putting together this roster was never going to be easy. Chris Beard had to replace six players from the eight-man rotation that carried his team to last season’s National Championship Game.
But still, we all had faith in his ability to reconstruct his team on the fly. After all, given that he’s spent the majority of his head coaching career moving from stop to stop on nearly an annual basis, this isn’t the first rebuild he’s had to oversee.
