Bench gives Miles of help to Cougars

LAS VEGAS — BYU’s Chris Miles played just nine minutes in Friday’s 63-54 Mountain West Conference semifinal win over San Diego State but made his presence felt.
The 6-foot-11 sophomore was 3-for-3 from the field during a crucial stretch with starter Trent Plaisted on the bench. BYU led 32-30 near the 15-minute mark of the second half when Miles hit a short jumper, then followed that up with a layup off a feed from Sam Burgess. Later, he scored again inside on a pass from Jonathan Tavernari.
“The main thing that I wanted to do was change our momentum a little bit,” Miles said. “There was a couple of times when it was tough to push the ball, so I wanted to help get some stops but also help at the other end.”
BYU head coach Dave Rose said Miles’ effort is typical of his bench throughout the season.
“I think if you look back at all of our games, you’ll find this team gets a lot of help from someone off the bench,” Rose said. “I thought that Chris Collinsworth gave us a real good lift in the first half. I thought the second half Chris Miles, his energy and physical presence, gave us a lift. Our players really got him the ball in a couple positions where he could really take advantage of that.”
