Late in the game, after TCU crashed the offensive boards for two of its 15
second-chance points in the second half, Pitino turned to his team's latest

''I asked him, 'Marvin, do you have any idea how to block out?' '' Pitino

your senior year and graduation with the way it's going right now.
(Assistant) Mick Cronin may be your coach. I'm sorry.' ''
