Texas Tech fans have seen Zach Smith for a year now, but there was something special about his performance Tuesday afternoon at United Supermarkets Arena.
The sophomore forward, once again, showed off his hops (he has a 40-plus inch vertical) in the Red Raiders’ 85-70 victory over Richmond, but Smith put together a complete game.
And he did so quietly, even though a pair of jams brought a crowd of 1,365 people to their feet.
The forward finished with 10 points and was smart with the basketball with two assists to one turnover.
His presence on the glass was key in Texas Tech’s 43-20 dominance on the boards.
