Chris Beard, Texas Tech honored by Texas House of Representatives

Even one month after an impressive NCAA tournament run that ended in the national championship game, Texas Tech basketball is still being celebrated.

Chris Beard and members of Texas Tech's men's basketball team took a trip to Austin where they were honored by the Texas House of Representatives.

Texas Tech fell 85-77 to Virginia in overtime of the national championship game. It was farther than where most predicted the third-seeded Texas Tech would go in the tournament and that result has spawned more moves by Texas Tech.

Texas Tech recently made Chris Beard one of the nation's highest-paid coaches and locked him up for another six years.
