| Here are some observation from San Diego State's 69-65 victory over BYU in men's basketball on Saturday. * This is a big loss because the Cougars run into a very hot New Mexico team in Albuquerque on Tuesday. BYU's best chance to snag a road win was at SDSU. With only one day of practice, I'm not sure they're up for the Lobos in the Pit. * It's almost to the point where I think Chris Miles is more effective in the post than Trent Plaisted. Miles works very hard and came up with some impressive hustle plays. Plaisted couldn't convert close in shots over smaller defenders and just disappeared from the offensive end. That really hurt BYU late in the game. Am I the only one who wonders why he throws up these off-balance, double-clutch half-hook shots? Someone needs to tell this guy he's nearly 7-feet tall and can jump out of the gym. * Lee Cummard has been dynamite for BYU this year but he made some huge mistakes at the end of the game, missing the front end of a 1-and-1, throwing the ball away and missing a layup. It happens. Nobody's perfect. What's more disturbing is losing a 7-point lead in the second half. * All I'll say about the officiating is that consistency would be nice. The referees were calling every bump and hand check all game long (including the barely-contact call that sent Cummard out of the game) so White's bump on Taverari's 3-point attempt late in the game should have been called, too. That BYU shot only six free throws and San Diego State 30? You have to expect a free throw disparity on the road against a team that drives to the basket a lot. | ||
