Few moments after the Red Raiders defeated SFA in the first round of the NCAA tournament, coach Chris Beard, Niem Stevenson, Keenan Evans, and Zhaire Smith joined media in the press room of the American Airlines Center to discuss the game.
Coach Beard opened his speech appreciating the game the Lumberjacks played, as he expected them to have the good game they had and continued with an analysis of the moments that changed the game, including the strong final minutes of the game that gave Texas Tech the victory.
Along with him, Keenan Evans and Zhaire Smith joked about the 360 alley-oop in the first half, while they enjoyed the fact to play in Dallas, in front of a crowd that made the American Airlines Cente look like a home game, while Niem Stevenson talked about the aggression the team showed in order to win the game.
