Trent wasn't doing his part to demand a double team tonight so it went downhill from there.
To be honest with you the offense was not the reason BYU lost. Even in the second half they still got good looks - even the 3's as many were uncontested. The issue was the inability to defend the UNLV penetration which resulted in too many offensive boards for the Rebels.

I agree with your last paragraph.
I was just shocked that what I saw tonight might be what we generally try to do on any given night. From what I understand you to be saying, it is NOT. I dont know what TP's reluctance was on offense. He could have had his way. I did notice that he was a bit cold in the first few minutes of the first half. I wonder if he got into his own head.
