On Monday night, desperate to deliver a jolt of energy to his team, Texas Tech head coach Tubby Smith went into his coaching bag of tricks to find the right formula. Taking all five of his starters out of the game, Smith called upon his bench to change the course of the game and it answered to the tune of 46 points in leading the Red Raiders over the TCU Horned Frogs in Ft. Worth.
Coming off of a crushing 3-point loss at the buzzer to No. 22 Baylor on Saturday, the psyche of the Red Raiders was a major concern.
