There is no Wink Adams or Curtis Terry on our team. The commentators were correct that BYU needed to take it to the hole, but instead we were content to shoot jump shots.

It definitely isn't Plaisted.....the biggest guy on the court!

Trent is a pussy, that's the truth. You're 6'11" and you let a 6'6" guy push you out to 12 feet. NBA my hiney.

of 'image'. Darger would have been a good get for BYU.

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.

Soft is an understatement. The absolutely worst 6'10"+ finisher I've ever seen. Pathetic.

One never knows what one is going to get with TP. He is so inconsistent. How could he ever think he is ready to go to the next level (unless of course that next level is playing some place in Turkey). Sometimes I wonder if we won't be better off without him.

2nd half fell apart when they tried to go through Plaisted.

The story of better athletes taking it to the rim on BYU, and BYU settling for outside jumpers, well I've heard that story before.

BYU from the 1 position to the 4 position can't get to the rim (with the exception of Jimmer). That's the difference.

How many charges did BYU draw? There's your answer to the game there.

Yes, BYU should have taken it inside in the second half. And Trent was playing way too far outside out of the paint defensively.

Nevertheless, three straight three-pointers by Adams in the last few minutes were huge. He had a big game.

It really sucks that BYU plays so well for such long stretches in the season and then loses focus in front of rabid UNLV fans. Twice.

You can slice and dice it any way that you want but homecourt was HUGE in this series. Its just too bad that the team didn't have the balls to suck it up and deliver through it all. They really had a chance to prove something positive about themselves.


And I guess that tp is back to being a goat for today.

he'll be in the NBA in a few months. Trust him. He thinks he's ready. :???:

I would imagine that Trent and the people advising him probably think that he could get better coaching at his position in the NBA...and they are probably right. That doesn't mean that he is NBA ready, but so few players ever are.

anytime. That's why the NBA teams play for home court advantage. Get that MWC? Duh!

And this BS that the UNLV athletic directors tries to shove down the media's throats about BYU storming the field after the Las Vegas Bowl.........I didn't see fights breaking out. If the UNLV fans were merely celebrating, no need to fight.

I think the real reason the fights broke out.....the reason that nobody on the BYU side is talking about....is that the majority of our fans are complete a-holes that deserve to get their dome punched in every now and then.

Why DID these fights break out? Because UNLV was happy? Why would any BYU try to help security keep UNLV fans from running onto the court? I have yet to hear a BYU fan raise the possibility that maybe these fights were the result of annoying behavior all game long.

BYU fans often behave obnoxiously at games. The male fans say stupid stuff. It is not uncommon to see annoying male fans showing up to games wearing slacks and a coat. Most of the middle aged or older men wear braided leather belts. The fans bring babies to stadiums and breast feed during critical moments of the game. The women wear annoying jean capris or ridiculous jumpers or other conservative sun dresses to the stadium. Our band plays songs like "popcorn" and "Hey Baby."

Personally, I am shocked that there are not more fights at BYU away games. Maybe this will cause certain folks to re-evaluate their behavior while sitting in someone else's gym.
