Meantime, you're on a three-game losing skid. Don't have your most talented player. You play a walk-on 22 minutes.
And you win.
By 13.
You're Chris Beard.

So Chris Beard has now A) won 30 games at Little Rock, B) taken Texas Tech to its first and second Elite Eights, first Final Four and first title game, and C) beaten the nation's top-ranked team while his leading scorer is sidelined.Junior guard Davide Moretti scored a game-high 18 points as the Red Raiders upset the top-ranked Cardinals in the Jimmy V Classic https://t.co/64JDOs4yqO

I saw this @TexasTechMBB in Bahamas & potential is enormous. Playing without 17 point scorer & future 1st rounder in Ramsey last three games. The future is very bright. Do not panic, Red Raider fans. The DNA is still there.
