    Texas Tech is hopeful a one-time national champion coach has enough left in the tank to pick its basketball program up off the mat.

    Tech on Monday agreed to terms with Tubby Smith to become the school’s new basketball head coach. Smith will be introduced during a news conference at 2 p.m. today.

    Brian Smith, Tubby Smith’s son, tweeted Monday night: “Props to my pops getting the Texas Tech job.”

    Smith was in Lubbock on Thursday to meet with Tech officials and tour the school’s facilities, and the two sides had been in talks since.Smith, 61, replaces Billy Gillispie, who resigned in September amid allegations of player mistreatment and NCAA violations regarding excessive practice time.

    The Red Raiders were led this season by interim coach Chris Walker, who guided the team to an 11-20 record and its first win in the Big 12 Conference Tournament in three years...........

    Kentucky to Minnesota to Texas Tech.

    A clear sign that Tubbs is losing it.

    Minnesota wins a tournament game, but still fires Tubs.

    I think the clear sign is that the gophers and Tubs had grown tired of each other.

    I think the hiring is perfect.

    I wanted Walker, we lost Keith Frazier because of this and might lose Gray too unless Tubby's a smooth talker.

    OTOH, he's proven and could probably lead them to a couple of tournaments, would probably lose in the first/second round.

    As long as the program is a dumpster fire, I'd rather have rolled the dice on CW and given him a chance, but in the end Tubby is the best they've had since BK.

    No doubt there. I think Minnesota wanted more than 1 tourney win for what they were paying Tubbs.

    It is a good hire for Tech. Tubbs is a good coach, runs a good program as well. Just from watching him in the B1G the past couple of years, it just doesn't seem like he has as much fire as he did when he coached UK, but I think he will put together a good progam at Tech, probably about the likes of where the Minnesota program was at.

    Minnesota was red hot, ranked in top ten this past year until they got into conference.....and Big 10 basketball this past year was like SEC football. Tubby also mildly complained about how old the facilities are, making it that much tougher to recruit.

    If he can get Tech back up to where Minny has been in a lately weaker big xii, I'd be thrilled.

    Well I believe "the barn" is by far the oldest arena in the league. I was there about 10 years ago and it is a pretty neat place. I'm not sure if Minnesota has renovated it at all or what their practice facilities were like, but is not in bad shape when I was there, just dated, so I could see why Tubbs might be clamoring a bit about the facilities. The raised floor is akward.

    In the B1G he wasn't the top dog of coaches, where as in the Big XII he probably is right there with Barnes, so I would think he would be able to lift up Tech's program past wat Minny was able to do in the B1G.

    On the surface hiring Tubby seems to be a good move. I hope it works out for him and Tech. But if it doesn't, then does Tech become the garveyard of old coaches: Bobby Knight, Tuberville, Gillespie?

    I'm sure he's better than Rick Barnes.

    Sucks about Frazier, but I'm not sure anyone Tech hired would have kept him from going with Larry Brown at SMU.

    I'd say I'm a pretty dumb idiot. Glad to be eating crow on that one, Tech bball being watchable has been a nice little surprise for me this year.

    Ah....Tech beating the horns Saturday was very satisfying.

    They may not reach 20 wins but sitting at 11-1 right now with that weekend win is pretty sweet.

    The tortilla flinging at Aggie will be missed.
    Oh, and the goal post impaling attempt as well...

    I wonder if that old fart at Bball games is permanently banned.
    That was bad ass. Sorta.
