Getting my game face on for Kansas at Texas Tech tonight. I love both Bill Self and Chris Beard as college coaches. I’m very exited to see what Tech throws at the Jayhawks tonight. Lest we forget Texas Tech is still the defending national runner-up as virtue of their close national final loss to Virginia almost two seasons ago.
When you watch a Chris Beard team what you should see is tenacious, tough team defense. Given Beard shaped his coaching style under Bobby Knight. When you watch Tech play you should see some of prime Bobby Knight as a coach in what Texas Tech is trying to do out there.
Chris B is 100-45 as a head coach entering tonight’s game in Lubbock.
Up above I have a video of Evan Mobley from USC. He’s currently at No. 2 on my list for the upcoming NBA draft. I wish we could see Evan Mobley this season in a tougher league like say the Big 12 or Big 10 where we could get a better gauge on his TSN. Because then we’d have a better feel of his physicality and ability to create space against better defenders.
When we have seen Cade Cunningham play eighteen Big 12 games we’re going to have a pretty good feel if he can adapt his game if Coach Boynton will morph his lineup with more of Rondel Walker, Bryce Williams and the Favors kid who can score the ball and open the lane for Cade.
Let’s go, Coach Boynton…I’ve been talking you up on my blog for two years. Let’s make sure we always have two guys on the floor with Cade who can shoot the trey and lessen lane congestion. Simple game. Gotta be adaptible. Take what they give you.
