From before the season began, Chris Beard has been all about his five seniors.
They’re the backbone of this program - who he wanted to have success for his first year and who he entrusted to shape the future of Texas Tech basketball.
In the case of Aaron Ross, who has played here for five years, he has left this Red Raider program better than he found it.
And in their short time with the program, Devon Thomas, Thomas Brandsma, Matt Temple and Anthony Livingston have put the name on the front of their jerseys before the name on the back.
