21 Wins to Dean Smith

ESPN Full Court is a wonderful thing... I'm able to enjoy basketball the way it was meant to be played. And it's nice to hear a "Homer" team of announcers. Andy Ellis, a former Knight player at Tech gives a lot of insight into what the team is trying to do and what they aren't doing well. Unlike the typical rah rah ESPN crews that provide absolutely ZERO insight.

Texas Tech (4-2) beat Kyle Macy's Morehead State team in Lubbock giving Coach Knight his 858th win. Coach Knight now trails Adolph Rupp (876) by 18 wins and Dean Smith (879) by 21 wins.

Texas Tech 76 - Morehead State 42

And with Tech up 30 with 15 minutes left in the game, Knight had 5 freshman in, gaining valuable experience. Poor upper classmen weren't allowed to pad their stats...unlike a certain team in B'Town known for playing their starters till the end in blowouts.
