Third time’s the charm for Pat Knight, as Bobby’s boy finally got his first win as Texas Tech coach.

The LUBBOCK AVALANCHE-JOURNAL (again, great paper name) reports that the Red Raiders upset 22nd-ranked Kansas State 84-75 Wednesday night. It marked the first Tech home game without the elder Knight roaming & ranting along the United Spirit Arena sidelines.

Where was Bob? Out on a night shoot? No, he was looking down upon his son - from a luxury box.

Throughout the evening, Dear Ol’ Dad “sat and applauded — and occasionally showed frustration at mistakes.” Luckily, no chairs were seen sailing from the suite.

Pat is now 1-2 on the season. One victory down, 901 to go.
