Any questions about whether or not Chris Beard could get his revamped team ready for Big 12 play were answered rather emphatically Saturday in Lubbock. With eight players making their conference debut, the Texas Tech basketball team put forth a dominant 85-50 win against Oklahoma State to serve notice to the rest of the league that last year’s regular-season title was no flash in the pan.
It was the Red Raiders’ fourth win in the last five games in this series. But it was only the second of those wins that came by more than five points.
The other came last season in Stillwater, a 78-50 victory.
