NCAA Tournament – First Half
I’ve got a lot more to write, behind the scenes stuff, but here are some photographs from BYU vs. Texas A&M first. Above, Lee Cummard grabs Chinemelu Elonu.

When I asked another photographer what he thought would happen, he said that we’d know after the first five minutes. The photo above was just three minutes into the game and by then, with BYU down eight points, I had a pretty good idea.

BYU vs. UNLV College Basketball – Second Half
This was about the moment when UNLV took over the game. Jackson Emery did a Pete Rose dive, sliding across the court trying to save the ball. It wouldn’t be long before UNLV tied the game and then went ahead to win, as BYU put up brick after brick.
Once a team unravels like this, it’s pretty easy to find photos to show it.
Jonathan Tavernari loses his handle on the ball.
UNLV’s Brice Massamba and UNLV guard Rene Rougeau celebrate after Rougeau was fouled during a UNLV streak that gave them a 55-48 lead in the second half.
Finally, Lee Cummard walks off the court after the loss.

BYU vs. UNLV College Basketball – First Half
Covered last night’s BYU vs. UNLV game and I’ll make a couple posts out of it. First, the good news… BYU had a great first half, going into the locker room with a double-digit lead.
Lee Cummard looks down at UNLV guard Tre’Von Willis.
After this dunk by Lee Cummard, the lead was 19-11.
UNLV head coach Lon Kruger argues with an official.
Brigham Young’s Chris Miles pulls the ball from UNLV’s Darris Santee. Traveling was called on the play. In background, Brigham Young guard Jimmer Fredette.
Next post, when I get a minute, the mirror-image second half…

BYU vs. SUU
Above: Brigham Young’s Trent Plaisted (top) and Southern Utah’s Tate Sorenson look up for the rebound. BYU vs. Southern Utah Univeristy (SUU), mens college basketball, Friday, December 21, 2007 at BYU’s Marriott Center in Provo.
Just a few photos from the game last night.
Above: BYU’s Trent Plaisted runs into a forest of defense.
Forest of defense? I didn’t send that caption in for publication. Maybe I should have – it might have attracted some coveted young readers.
Just a thought: what if I got paid based on how many clicks my photos got on the Trib site? I could start creatively inserting popular search terms like “thong” into all of my captions to drive up the traffic. You know, if we got paid by hits, it might start a rash of creative captioning. But I guess the reality would be this- whenever I photographed a high school girls basketball game, I would only shoot players named Britney or Paris (or Jamie Lynn) or other names that were popular with search engines. Okay, this idea is so over. There is no one named “Anna Chakvetadze” on any Utah sports team.
In the second half, little worth watching was happening. But a couple of times guys were diving into the photo box, nearly splitting open their heads on 400/2.8′s.
This guy (Sam Burgess) just about took me out chasing down a loose ball. With a couple minutes to go and a comfortable fifteen point lead, Lee Cummard went flying into the fans diving after a loose ball.
