What IF Wednesday

Each Wednesday we look into the world of alternate history. The great What IFs in sports and life. Things can change dramatically on the smallest of variances; as we all know in our own lives. This week, let’s take a look back at Texas Tech MBB.

What IF: Tubby Smith didn’t leave in April of 2016 and head to Memphis?

How many more years would he have stayed and what would the ceiling have been for Texas Tech during the next three years or so? Does Chris Beard replace him after a run at UNLV? Does the Womble Basketball Center happen? How different is Texas Tech basketball today if Smith didn’t leave?

Fire away with your thoughts in the comments and we’ll take a deep-dive on The Daily Broadcast tonight.
