I’m excited I will get to watch them in Provo again but the fact the selection committee let ASU in the tournament which BYU is 2-0 against and had virtually the same record is wild….

Want to shout out what an amazing run @byuwbb and @LeeCummard have had over the past month. Those girls may have taken an NCAA tournament bid from their rival and punched their own ticket instead. The best part is as well as they are playing the ceiling is still way higher!

[Trent Plaisted @TPlaist44]

One of the best dudes I know and a friend for life….Happy for you @LeeCummard

[BYU Women's Hoops @byuwbb]

Cougar Nation, we're thrilled to announce Lee Cummard as our new head coach!

[Trent Plaisted @TPlaist44]

Well I was right that BYU was gonna make more 3’s I just didn’t know that Bama’s entire team was gonna channel their inner @jimmerfredette bc they played against byu…..

[Trent Plaisted @TPlaist44]

Let’s hope the law of averages works out in the second half and BYU goes 7/12 from 3

@IsaacSaucewick I don’t know if you’re mocking me or that’s the most honest reply of all time….either way I respect it haha

[Trent Plaisted @TPlaist44]

It was great to see Egor play the way he did last night. I’ll never understand why some fans choose to fixate on a weakness while ignoring all a players strengths. Truth is, just by Egor being on the floor it causes opposing teams to react to his talent. He’s also 19 yrs old….

[Trent Plaisted @TPlaist44]

@appraiserjacob You and I aren’t on the team he didn’t almost cost US anything and BYU doesn’t win w/o him

[Trent Plaisted @TPlaist44]

@MikeChr22686816 He will be way better than me and I’m good with that. I appreciate you saying that though!

[Trent Plaisted @TPlaist44]

@rjbeard12 🙄 you put the L in LOYAL, strong, and True….

[Trent Plaisted @TPlaist44]

@robyhunt @LeeCummard Can’t blame you for that! Plus I never really liked @LeeCummard all that much anyways

[Trent Plaisted @TPlaist44]

After the successful Jeff Judkins era ended 3 yrs ago for @byuwbb I thought the HC choice should’ve been @LeeCummard to carry the torch and put his spin on it. BYU chose to go “outside the box” and while I get why, this time they need to fix what should have happened 3 years ago

[Trent Plaisted @TPlaist44]

I have not posted on Twitter or (I guess X now?) for a long time but @BYUMBB just made an amazing hire in Kevin Young. Sends a great message about how they want to compete in the BIG 12 and they did it in warp speed for BYU! Shout out to @TomHolmoe and the administration

[Trent Plaisted @TPlaist44]

Thanks for the Invite! 😂 I hope @kkzadar and @BYUMBB have a great game…..Zadar is an amazing place with incredible people and I have great memories of playing there!

[Trent Plaisted @TPlaist44]

I get all the outrage about the defense etc and I actually agree with it….but I also am really sad bc regardless of what the results show the players and coaches aren’t wanting this to happen…Doesn’t make it ok but makes it human.

[Trent Plaisted @TPlaist44]

I hope Jake Oldroyd has a special rest of the season and doesn’t let this ONE game define him bc he didn’t get the nic name “Jake the make” for nothing….I for one am pulling for him and thrilled BYU won bc that gutted me to watch

[Trent Plaisted @TPlaist44]

@Elijah_Bryant3 Congrats my guy!

[Trent Plaisted @TPlaist44]

@coachandrewmay @CameronGooden3 @Dancell_Leter @staine_frank22 @isaiahpope15 @Edmonds_III @kingandre35 @MadNile @H_Scho44 @trevon44allfrey @NoaGonsalves @BrockGilber Congrats @coachandrewmay happy for you!

[Trent Plaisted @TPlaist44]

@BYUpros @CriddleBenjamin Absolutely could be! To me anytime you lose 7 players from your current roster regardless of if it’s voluntary, forced, culture issues etc that’s not something I’d be excited about.

[Trent Plaisted @TPlaist44]

IDK if anyone deserves blame be that coaches, the transfer portal, entitled kids or a combination of the 3 but it’s sad to see all these kids move on to other places mostly bc I know what a great experience I had at BYU….hope they find what they are looking for and so does BYU

[Trent Plaisted @TPlaist44]

@CraigLevinson2 I had already graduated and I wanted to make money!
