Texas Tech returns five players who started 10-plus games from last year's team which posted a 19-13 record and earned the program's first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2007 when Beard served as an assistant coach.
Â
Texas Tech brings back its leading scorer (Aaron Ross – 12.5 PPG), leading rebounder (Zach Smith – 7.5 RPG) and leading assist man (Keenan Evans – 2.6 APG) from Big 12 play last season.
