Lefevre has worked with head coach Chris Beard for seven seasons and helped the Texas Tech program to the NCAA Elite Eight and a 27-win season in 2017-18 prior to the Final Four run in 2019.

The Red Raiders recorded the program's winningest season in program history by going 31-7 in the 2018-19 season that included going 5-1 in the NCAA Tournament. Tech advanced to the program's first Final Four after earning wins over Northern Kentucky, Buffalo, Michigan and Gonzaga before advancing to the national championship game with a 61-51 win over Michigan State in the Final Four semifinal in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Texas Tech collected a pair of victories over Associated Press Top 10 opponents during the 2016-17 season in No. 4 Baylor and No. 7 West Virginia for the first time since the 2007-08 season when the Red Raiders knocked off No. 5 Texas and No. 10 Texas A&M.
