The differences are never easy. Even if it’s the best and both sides have been in good, healthy situations in the aftermath, there’s always an uncomfortable layer on the edge. This is true in all areas of life, but perhaps no more so than in college basketball.
As an example: a scene in Lubbock, Texas, on Monday night when the Texas men’s basketball team arrived before an expected match with Texas Tech. Longhorns is led by first-year coach Chris Beard, who left the Red Raiders after five incredibly successful seasons on greener pastures in Austin. If you’re wondering if Texas Tech loyalists would welcome the open arms of their former coach, the answer seems to be a strong (and full of expressions) no.
Beard arrived in Lubbock in 2016 and took the team almost immediately to the top of the country. The Red Raiders reached Elite Eight in Beard in the second season of 2018, and were then painfully close to winning the national championship the following year. In the end, however, the invitation to coach his alma mater was too good to miss.
Both teams are enjoying success this season and are currently sharing third place in the Big 12, so the stakes are already high before the first encounter of the year. Based on Beard’s welcome on the eve of the game, you can expect the United Supermarkets Arena audience to play a key role in determining the latest entrant in an already fierce competition.
