NEW YORK – TCU men’s basketball coach Jamie Dixon is hoping the presence of special assistant Tom Herrion on the Horned Frogs’ staff will be a difference-maker in preparing for Thursday’s NIT championship game against Georgia Tech in Madison Square Garden (7 p.m., EPSN).
Herrion, a former Dixon assistant at Pittsburgh (2007-2010), is in his first season at TCU after spending the last two seasons on the staff at Georgia Tech (2014-16). Herrion recruited some of the players on the Yellow Jackets’ roster and has provided Dixon some insights about 6-foot-10 center Ben Lammers, a junior from San Antonio who has averaged 14.2 points and 9.4 rebounds this season.
Georgia Tech (21-15) also played in last year’s NIT but lost in the third round to San Diego State.
