He's making everyone forget about what's his name.

Wowsers. Our defensive intensity will get a test on (big) Monday.

Whom will have the pleasure of guarding him Monday?

I haven't seen KState except against NU, but at least in that game thier bigs played terrible D. NU back doored them all night. Hope we can slow Beasley down some because I think we can score on them.

James has to be guarding Beasley right?

I don't think Gary is agile enough. Mason has a huge size disadvantage, Connor is too slow. I just hope James doesn't get in foul trouble.

But in reality, it's our TEAM defense that will try to stop him, just like our team defense has been stopping the teams we've played recently.

If Beasley drives, we need Connor and Gary to get a hand in his face and at least make shots difficult for him. Then we need James and Johnson to pound the boards and prevent him from getting his own shot back. On the perimeter, try to get a hand in his face.

The way our help defense has been lately, I think we can do a good job of "containing" him.

Unbelievable stat of the game, with about 12 minutes to go.
Kansas State has scored 64.
Beasley has 36
Bill Walker has 24.

Crazy. But then again it is Baylor.

 

[Bob in Houston]

Beasley sets the B12 record with 44. Walker had 31. Rest of the team 11.

Baylor wins 92-86.

Our Defense has been our strength. I suspect he'll be doubled. And I expect lots of intensity from the good guys. Let's go Longhorns!

Hook'em!!!

Just wanted to say, "Congrats to Baylor!" for the big win. It certainly needed a pick-me-up after giving one away on Tuesday.

I agree with the team defense motif. As different individuals rotate into and out of primary responsibility, however, I would think that (1) James, (2) Johnson, and (3) Wangmene would be candidates. Mason can be effective with traps and late-developing double teams but, as someone noted, would give up too much size as primary defender.
