Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports has announced that graduate guard transfer Matt Mooney has committed to join the Texas Tech Red Raiders basketball program. Mooney was recently with the University of South Dakota and will be immediately eligible with the Red Raiders.
Mooney is a fantastic pickup for Chris Beard and his program. He averaged 18.7 PPG, 4.1 RPG, 3.1 APG and 2.0 SPG last season with South Dakota. His crafty handle makes it easy for him to either blow by defenders or shoot the jumper. Although it was a down year from the perimeter, Mooney is not afraid to shoot the three ball.
