but please tell me how it is reasonable and justified that Plaisted had those kind of numbers against this team.

And please don't talk about foul trouble. He looked terrible when he was in the game. He can't get on the block, he can't shoot. he's a mediocre rebounder.

I'm just so fed up with someone of his physical gifts, and his lack of heart, intellect, and desire. It's sickening.

I hope he stops reading the press clippings about how is the next great whatever and somebody kicks him in the nads and tells him how it is. You are headed for "bust" territory real quick.

Coach Rose doesn't go without blame either.

P.S. He got in trouble because of lousy defense

They put Doelman on Keena, which left Trent with 6'7 guy on him all night and he has 6 freaking points. He missed point blank shots, had a point blank jump hook in a crucial situation and he misses it horribly.

BYU didnt bring it tonight.

I struggle to understand how a dude who is 6'11" runs a 4.6 40 and has an alleged 48 inch verticle can miss a dunk badly.

For as athletic and talented as Plaisted is supposed to be, he doesn't show it much on the floor from what I've seen.

I really do hope TP learns to step it up next year, because with TP, Cummard, Tavernari and Burgess we have a decent base of a team.

Very disappointed because I thought we should have won this game.

I wonder if Trent is one of those head-cases that lacks self-confidence.

Or if he is an arrogant cocky type that is lazy.

Or a combination.

But he certainly is *something* that is detrimental to himself. Rose needs to screw his head on straight.

And it's clear that we are going to need a scorer next year, with Keena gone. Trent can't be that guy. He has no range and no ability to get to the block. That's a deadly combination. Worst of all, he's not that good on the glass either.

MikeWaters · 03-16-2007, 03:53 AM

One more thing: horrible close-out on the three. I"m pretty sure it was Plaisted. That in itself lost us the game. When the guy dribbled from the 3 to the bucket.

I feel bad for all the seniors. Plaisted needs to buy them all dinner.

I know him--kind of. He's DEFINITELY not an arrogant cocky type. If anything he'd be the former. He's painfully shy and humble and a genuinely good guy.

The game was so disappointing. Argh! Plaisted didn't win the game but I wouldn't say he lost it. He had a bad game but so did others. It's very frustrating.

Plaisted left his feet way to much.

He couldnt finish around the rim.

X had way to many put back tips, we didnt box out very well.

Keena and Mike Rose brought it in their final game.

Ainge wasnt horrible, but made a few mistakes

The Zone defense was horrendous, but we couldnt play man to man because we got burned there. So its not Roses fault, he knew their were matchup problems and did his best to hide them.

That last drive by Ainge was pretty much meaningless.

Sizzle my daughter is 16 months tomorrow, so that is something to celebrate.

Didn't Majerus call Plaistead a turnip or something like that?

cougjunkie · 03-16-2007, 04:08 AM

Only way BYU gets out of the first round, is by going something like 32-1 and getting a 4 seed (knowing the NCAA tournament) then drawing some scrub that shouldnt be in the tourney. Other than that the NCAA tournament owns us.
