Texas Tech fired coach Pat Knight Monday, effective at the end of the Big 12 tournament. This shouldn't come as a shock. The apathy with the program in Lubbock is an ongoing issue, and Knight singled himself out in the preseason as being on the bubble for his job. When the Big 12 becomes 10 teams next season, the job will only get tougher. Iowa State has a host of transfers ready to roll (always a gamble), and Fred Hoiberg will have talent at his disposal, with Royce White and Chris Allen leading a group of former Big Ten signees.
