Texas Tech basketball coach Chris Beard joined us on the Marching to Madness podcast in early September to preview the 2019-20 season for the Red Raiders.

Some of the topics Beard discussed included:

  • Reflections on the Red Raiders making it to the national championship game
  • How playing against professional competition during a summer trip to the Bahamas will help the team this season
  • The continued focus on defense within the program
  • Adding two dynamic talents in Chris Clarke and TJ Holyfield
  • Expectations for the talented freshman class

Texas Tech will tip off the season on Nov. 5 against Eastern Illinois.
