BYU closes out regular season against TCU

Mar 8, 2008 - 2:34 PM No. 24 Byu (24-6) at Tcu (14-14) 8:00 pm EST

FORT WORTH, Texas (Ticker) - No. 24 Brigham Young is hoping to carry its momentum into the Mountain West Conference tournament.

BYU goes for its fourth straight win on Saturday when it visits Texas Christian in the regular-season finale for both teams.

The Cougars (24-6, 13-2) clinched their second straight regular season conference title on Wednesday with a 78-61 victory over Wyoming. Trent Plaisted scored 23 points and pulled down 11 rebounds to lead BYU to its 12th win in 13 games.

Plaisted is the team's leading scorer and rebounder, averaging 16.0 points and 8.0 rebounds. The 6--11 junior has scored at least 20 points in each of his last three contests and has logged nine double-double this season.

TCU (14-14, 6-9) is coming of its worst offensive performance of the season. The Horned Frogs were held to a season-low in points during a 57-36 setback against Air Force on Wednesday.

Keion Mitchem scored 16 points and was the only player in double-figures for TCU, which shot a dismal 24 percent (11-of-46) from the field while making 7-of-23 3-pointers.
