Texas Tech has fired Pat Knight after three season at the university, according to ESPN.com.

The Red Raiders are 13-18 this season, including 4-12 in the Big 12 conference. Knight will coach the team through the Big 12 tournament and step down after.

Knight, who was given the job after his father, Bob Knight, retired in 2008, has a 46-53 career record at Texas Tech and only one winning season. The Red Raiders started the 2009-10 season off 9-0, but quickly faded before being knocked out of the first round of the NIT by Ole Miss, finishing the season with a 19-16 record.

Texas Tech travels to Kansas City to face no. 24 Missouri in the opening round of the Big 12 tournament on Wednesday.
