He really struggled, I give MSU a lot of credit for playing tough man to man D on him all game long and not letting him get his shot off.
Also MSUs big three down low worked tirelessly on Plaisted, they were very chippy with him and did a nice job of dislodging him and keeping him further way from the basket than he would have liked.
Biggest play of the game was when BYU was up 1, Plaisted gets a huge block, the crowd is loud on its feet and Murdock gets picked in the open court and gives up a huge layup.

I wondered a couple times if the players were getting the NBA line confused with the college line. JT's shot selection was a joke. Point guard play killed us. When we play athletic teams, we end up running the offense from 35 ft and it kills our ability to make the right passes or hit the three when we rotate the ball.
