BYU played poorly. Plaisted has a ton of work to do to improve his game. He frequently disappears, he goes soft to the rim, he bobbles good passes, he is slow on his first step after getting a quick pass in the lane, and he doesn't seem to have the power to dunk over an opponent. His defense is hugely suspect too. He often winds up way out of position at the top of the key chasing a guard, leaving him open to backdoor cuts.
Tavernari is a good shooter, until he decides he is a good shooter.
Cummard is our best player, but he is slow on his footwork on defense.
I like what I see from Fredette, and Collinsworth will be solid for a while to come too.
This team is good. It has faults, but it is good. It requires the entire team to stay focused if they are going to win a game or 2 in the tournament. Their seeding took a one to three seed hit tonight, particularly with the big point spread difference at the end. Rather than be a 5, they will probably be a 6-8 now (I would bet an 8). It is almost better to be a 12 than an 8. BYU is once again in no man's land. UNLV may have moved up to an 8 tonight too.

And this clown thinks he's ready for the NBA? What is he smoking? He can't out rebound shorter guys? He doesn't have a jump shot. Yeah, you're ready.
Plus Rose was outcoached. Let's see. Terry in the corner. Plaisted's man comes out to set a pick and then Terry drives toward the basket with 2-3 different options. It happened at least 8 times!
