Halftime Update From The Marriott
Trent Plaisted has fully recovered from the flu.
The junior center is leading another offensive masterpiece for BYU at the Marriott Center.
Plaisted has scored 17 points as BYU leads TCU 43-35 at the half. The Cougars are shooting 58.6 percent (17 of 29).
Passing fancy has been a theme for BYU in the first half. The Cougars have been dishing out pretty assists with 15 total on their 17 field goals.
Jonathan Tavernari had a pretty feed to Sam Burgess on a backdoor cut and dished one to Trent Plaisted for a dunk. Freshman Jimmer Fredette fed Tavernari for a reverse layup.
In a rarely-seen stat, Lee Cummard has no points but that is mainly because BYU hasn't needed him to score. Everyone else has been doing just fine.
Tavernari has 11 points and Burgess has seven - the first seven of the game.
****
Quick hits:
- TCU guard Henry Salter started. Salter had missed the last two games with an ankle injury.
- Trent Plaisted looked a little subdued during the pre-game introductions, but it didn't translate to the court. He must have been focusing because he blocked a shot on TCU's opening possession, swished his first two free throws nothing but net and had a one-handed dunk.
- Sam Burgess scored the first seven points for BYU to give the Cougars a 7-0 lead. He converted back-to-back layups - the first on a curl cut on an assist from Ben Murdock and the second on a backdoor cut on a pretty feed from Jonathan Tavernari - and drained a 3-pointer from the right wing.
- Plaisted went on his own personal 6-0 run later with back-to-back hooks and a dunk.
- Tavernari displayed his Brazilian soccer roots with a kick save while defending.
- Freshman forward Chris Collinsworth has ditched the undershirt tonight, and it seems to have unlocked his range. He hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key and a shot from just inside the line.
- TCU guard Ryan Wall stole the ball from Lee Cummard and banked a 3-pointer in from the right wing. The bank was open again for Wall later in the night for another 3-pointer.
- Academic awards were presented at halftime and BYU running back Harvey Unga received the loudest applause by far.
