Overview: Pat Knight is now in his third season at Texas Tech, but hasn’t been unable to accomplish what his father Bob had. Fortunately, he does have four returning starters from a team that allowed 79 points per game, which was last in the Big 12. They do have to replace 6-3 guard Alan Voskull (13.8ppg), who led the Big 12 in 3-point percentage (43.5%) and led Texas Tech in steals. Juinor point guard John Roberson (5-11, 165) did lead the team in scoring at 13.9ppg and assists at 6.4apg. He does need to cut down on the turnovers (108). Senior NIck Okorie (11.3ppg) was hampered b a knee injury and should provide more scoring this year. Junior David Tairu (6-3, 180), a JC transfer, adds immediate help in the backcourt as a slasher, who can get to the basket. Up front, junior Mike Singletary (6-6, 217) was a contributor off the bench, who averaged 12.2ppg and 5.8rpg. Robert Lewandowski (6-10, 248), showed some promise as a freshman with 6.6ppg and 3.7rpg. They also add transfers Theron Jenkins (6-6, 211) and wing Brad Reese (6-6, 189), who can only help

Outlook: The Red Raiders have got to find a way to stop people this year. If not, Knight will be on the hot seat.
