Texas Tech will hit the road to Stillwater this weekend to face the Oklahoma State Cowboys. The Cowboys are coming off a close loss to the No.1 Baylor Bears and escaping with a win in Manhattan 64-59 over Kansas State.

Beard is appreciative of everyone who donated to Jahmi'us Ramsey's mother because she lost everything in a fire. Said it was special and that even people outside of Red Raider Nation contributed. "There's a lot more things than athletics."

Advice for guys on Valentine's Day: "Listen more than you talk." Also listed Walgreen's as a good last-minute idea for a go-to item.

Speaking of which, new marketing idea out and available: Valentine's Day special starts a 5pm tomorrow for $5 tickets to the Kansas St. When you buy a ticket, you're entered into a rather for seats behind the Tech bench.

Beard knows students have stuff going on, but he encourages students and fans to come. There are three home games left. Just hopes more will come and thanks the ones who have come out. Same thanks to season-ticket holders.

Beard on what he's seen on the Cowboys as of late: won two of their last three, including a one-possession loss at Baylor, an argument can be made that they're playing some of their best basketball. Playing great offense and defense. He echoes them having one of the best starting five. Beard has a lot of respect for OSU.

Beard talked about TJ Holyfield and how he is continuing to strive for excellency. In a lot of ways, Holy is playing at a great point, especially at this point since he's a senior. He is confident Holy has put himself in a great place.

Beard on Kyler Edwards: he said he is running his own race. Contributed his freshman year and now has developed since. Gotten better. Said it's a story that he enjoys telling as he does about his other players. "He's just a sophomore." Beard continued about Edwards' all-around game, saying he takes pride on defense. The ball is in his hands more to be a facilitator, not just a scorer.

Update on Terrence Shannon: he is in the concussion protocol. Step-by-step process.
